So this week's Friday Night Music selection is all about baseball. This weekend we begin our state tournament for my eldest son, Dodge.
His fall team decided to move up to select ball, though they were ill prepared for the competition as evidenced by their 3-7 record and no tourney wins. Ouch. That meant Dodge ended up in the draft with an "expansion" team of kids who had never played ball before or who were dropped or left the team for whatever reason.
Needless to say, we barely got across the .500 mark for the season and while I want to avoid pride, find myself beaming that Dodge finished the season with a 5-0 record as a pitcher, though he did earn one of those wins via the blown save. Nonetheless, he was ace, closer, and whatever else the needed when it came to an arm while holding down short stop otherwise.
He has now been picked up by his old expandion team, the Cedar Hill Ruff Ryders, for the State and potentially World Series tournaments for both his pitching and defense and I believe his ridiculous ability to get on base.
In any case, it is time for a new tournament and being picked up as a proverbial waiver wire pickup. Results will come soon from the tournament. Until then, enjoy the tune.
