This is Henry's third year of T-ball, but this past Saturday, he played in his first ever real game! He started the game at second base for the Murphy Candler Iron Pigs.
* "Real" = each team bats until it scores four runs, then they switch. This continues for an hour and 15 minutes. Final score: Iron Pigs 16, Volcanoes 16.
Mindy and Claire were on hand to watch and cheer.
Action shot #1: Henry's first swing in a game. Result: single (the scorekeeper was admittedly generous).
Action shot #2 (and self-proclaimed AP photo of the year nominee): Henry's second at-bat. Another single!
After a couple of innings, Henry made the move to catcher. Fills out that equipment quite nicely, huh?
Doing his best Yadi Molina
Coming in to score a run!
This video gives a pretty good glimpse into the Iron Pigs' style of play...
