Dodgers start season in 4 days

And baseball’s best pitcher will be on the hill. 😀👍⚾️

 

First to third, second to home

The thing I miss most about playing baseball is running the bases. 

I never felt more like a “ballplayer” than when I was taking my lead off the bag, sprinting from first to third on a teammate’s hit, or sliding feet first across home plate.

Those memories still give me a rush.

 

Maisa’s team starts season 3-0

Combined score: Diablas 37, opponents 9

Our team has been SOOOO looking forward to the start of the season, and the first weekend of games did not disappoint.

The Diablas looked like a championship squad in steamrolling three opponents in the Beaverdale spring league.

Maisa ran the bases like a demon and played superb defense throughout the day. She also hit two balls exceptionally hard. We are very proud of her.

I’m enjoying this book

 

Maisa loves to pretend she’s the teacher

 

The California Sound

I watched a documentary last night that talked a lot about the Southern California music scene in the 1960s. 

So of course I listened to The Beach Boys on the way to work this morning.
