Our Own Little Pujols

Parker has been playing in the end of season Pinto baseball tournament. They won their first game and played today to get into the championship game. They were playing an undeafeated team that beat them by about 15 runs the first time they met. They played their little hearts out and ended up losing 19-18. It was such an awesome game! I haven't been this excited about a sporting event since I was in college. Parker made a few good defensive plays and hit a homerun! (An infield error induced homerun, but a homerun nonetheless!) You might notice the big red stain on his pants. He slid into home and tore off a scab. He was tough though, just got a bandaid and went back out. We are so, so proud of this team. It's so great that they learned at this age that winning truly isn't everything--that sometimes just playing your very, very best is even better than a W!
