Cameron loves to be active and play any kind of sports, but he's always been a hockey player at heart. He started on his first hockey team at age 3 and still loves it more than anything.
When he was very young, we noticed that he was very good at hitting a baseball. Especially after many trips to the neighbor's yards to fetch baseballs. :) Every year when baseball sign ups would come around, we'd ask him if he wanted to play and he always opted for spring hockey. Well, this year he finally decided to give it a try and we are all very glad that he did! Baseball season was so much fun!
He is definitely a natural...his coach couldn't believe that he had never played before. He played for Warren County Little League and was on the Angels team. His favorite position was catcher and he did a great job! At one game he even got an out when he caught a pop up foul! One of his favorite parts about the season was that the coaches had nick names for all of the players. His was "slap shot" because he plays hockey. He really thought that was cool....but we aren't allowed to call him that...it's "only for the coaches" :)
They didn't win the league championship, but they definitely won more games than they lost. Most importantly, though, he had a wonderful time and learned so much. The coaches were wonderful at encouraging the boys and not putting them down at all. We were lucky to be on such a great team!
Over the summer the coach invited the team to his house for a pool party which was very nice! Also, Cameron has the opportunity to play for the team again this fall. The season will be brief, but he's so exited to play again! Here are a few pictures of our Little Leaguer in action!
