Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we assumed baseball would be cancelled this year. We were pleasantly surprised when the league decided to go ahead, starting a month later than usual. The boys were so excited to get to play, especially after all of the other sports leagues were cancelled, and I am really grateful they were able to have a season after all.
This was Jackson's first year in the majors and he was lucky enough to be on a team with several of his friends. He mostly played bases and also pitched during a handful of games. He did a great job fielding this year and had some big hits toward the end of the season. His was a young team, and they are already looking forward to next year!
This was Bode's first year as a minor and he had a great season. He was drafted to the Angels by one of his rookie teammate's dad. His friends Abe and Truman were also on the team, which he loved. This season Bode tried his hand at pitching and did well, and he also got his first in-field home run! His team did awesome and had a few really fun games where they came back to win. They also ended up placing third in the tournament.
Davis was so excited for his first year of baseball in this league. He's patiently waited and attended so many games of his brothers and it was finally his turn. Sean has been the Angels rookies coach since Jackson was in rookies several years ago. Davis loved having his dad as coach and he did awesome this year! He always hit the ball and usually, to the outfield! He loved having a few of his neighborhood friends on the team. Their team did well and had a winning average, which was impressive since it was such a young team.

I really love this picture of my boys!
And a few more pictures because there is nothing cuter than boys in their baseball uniforms.
Here's to hoping next season we're not dealing with a pandemic anymore!
