All-Star update

Here's a quick update on the All-Stars. Jacob went 1 for 3 with a double on Friday night, and the Gainesville American All-Stars won again, 8-4. You can check out the video of his double below. The first video is of him being introduced before the game. The second is of him hitting the double. He hit it to the gap in right center, but even if there had been a kid playing in that position, he would have hit it over that kid's head. It was a shot. We've been working on his hitting the last few weeks and it looks like it's paying off. Now they play again tonight, if it doesn't rain. They play Chantilly American, which is a really good team. I hope they can take it to them.

On Saturday night we (the coaches) took the boys to see the Washington Nationals play the San Francisco Giants at Nationals Park. It's the first time either one of us had been there, and I was very impressed. What a beautiful stadium. Unfortunately, the National's play wasn't beautiful and they lost 10-5. We had a good time, though, and enjoyed each other's company a lot. This picture is a shot of Jacob and his buddy Ian before the game. Our seats were on the left hand side of this picture. In fact, you can see our seats right off of Ian's right ear behind the guy next to the tarp. They were great seats and we could see everything. A big thank you to Coach Dave for setting it all up.
