Luke loves baseball!

Luke played 1st base for the first time today.  He has been practicing the position for 2 weeks, but we had to miss last week's baseball game due to a soccer conflict.  We played the toughest team in the league today and we didn't win, but we sure came to play ball. 

Luke is fielding during warm-up.  He bats first in the line-up.  It makes me nervous that he leads off, but he seems to really enjoy going first and getting the ball game started.  Today he hit a single, grounded out, and struck out once.  He did much better hitting last week.  However, Luke turned on the defense this week.  He helped the team get lots of outs. 
But I think that his absolute, favorite part of the game is the black-sun-deflecting smudges under his eyes.  He feels like he is in the big league with war-paint on :)  He even left it on to do chores.  See pictures below.  Posted by Picasa
