Now Batting #99

Zach had his first game on Monday night. His team this year are the Aggies, which as you can imagine is painful for most UT parents and therefore you don't hear too many yells for "Go Aggies" but more individual name calling.

The game was great fun and I have no doubt that at some point during the season we will be asked to provide Zach's birth certificate. You can see from the photo of him at 3rd that he looks like Andre the Giant out there amongst the other players. One inning he played pitcher and it was 3 up, 3 down as all three batters just hit right back at Zach and his teammate Wes made all three catches at first. It seemed a bit unfair but it is Spring Ball in Texas and t-ball or not people take this stuff seriously.

A few other comments about the photos I included below. First, check out his size as mentioned above. This kid is huge and most likely why most people think I have two sets of twins. Second, check out Zach warming up to hit. This is t-ball but obviously he has been to one too many Voodoo games and is working on his timing. And then there are his action shots from short stop including one with his buddy Griffin at second base. Since we basically have the same team from the fall including the same great coaches, it is great to see the kids building on all that they worked on that season and doing fabulous things like getting outs at 2nd base and getting the relay from the outfield.

This is no doubt going to be a fun season with the Aggies.
