Play Ball!

Baseball Season is upon us!  Ok, not really, but baseball financial season definitely is here!  Paying out all those fees, buying cleats, pants, socks, oh ya, and Isaac wants/needs a new bat.  Bats for almost 14 year olds are pricey.  We're facing the dilemma of what to buy- do you buy something that will get him through a year or so, or the one he really wants that will work for High School.  Wow- buying a bat comes with a lot of emotional turmoil... Does he really need a 33 inch bat?  I remember buying him a tee ball bat (Chad once told me it was the kind of bat convenience store clerks keep under their counter in case they're robbed).  Then there's the whole high school issue.  Most of the bats you buy for Super League can't be used in High School.  Do we buy one that is approved for high school?  He will be old enough to try out to play up to JV next year.  But Riverton is a really big high school.  With lots of baseball players.  Will he make the team?  If so, will it be a good experience?  Will he get to play as much as he wants?  He loves the Bulldogs, does he want to leave them?  See? all this from buying a bat, that we haven't even purchased yet.  Good thing he doesn't need a glove!
