The boys received a plastic T-Ball set for Christmas. T-Ball is a sport based on baseball and is intended as an introduction for children to develop baseball skills and have fun. The Owensboro Parks and Recreation Department offers a 3-4 year old and 5-6 year old T-Ball League each summer. This league teaches the basic fundamentals in a non-competetive atmosphere. All children play in the field and bat each inning. The boys will be old enough to play next year, and so we have about 12 months to help them prepare. So far, they shown little natural talent for throwing, catching and hitting, but we’ve only just begun. By watching others we hope to inspire their desire to learn and try. Our neighbor, Wes Roberts, is a former college baseball standout. He has offered to help teach them the basics, and we’ll see where it goes from there.
