Angels Baseball Clinic

So a couple of weeks ago Suzanne Carter invited my boys to a free clinic down at Quakes stadium. I guess the Angels were hosting it for kids ages 6-13 for FREE! So I asked my boys who was going to play ball this year and Ryan said he was and that he wanted to go. It didn't hurt that Dustin was going also.

Ryan listening to the pitching coach. This guy pitched a no hitter in 1970 and his only strike out was Reggie Jackson. Amazing! What a treat for Ryan to receive instruction from him.

Getting ready to throw his pitch.

Always proud to display his name on the back of his jersey! He was excited to get to wear his All-Star uniform from last season. He was just one of a handful of kids that had on an All-Star uniform!

Can you believe the intensity in his face! Amazing that he is only 10!




Just a couple of pics of Dustin. Look at that same intensity on his face! Guess it's just what you do when your 10!!!!!!

Had to put one in of Trenton. He did so good for only being 6!

Thanks Suzanne for the invite and for a great day! We had a blast! Maybe me more than the boys because we went shopping during the clinic! Thanks again!

Great pictures of Ryan. And while you were looking at the intensity on his face, I was looking at that "Great" form!!!! Hope the others were as impressed as I was!!! Love it when it's baseball time. Happy that I don't have to go to all the games with the kids, though. Hope he has a great Baseball season.
Maybe Keegan & I should find a way to take a trip to watch Ryan play.
