To me T-Ball is more than just a game of baseball. T-Ball is the grins, giggles and laughs of boys and girls as they play one of their first games of baseball. T-Ball is the smiles, cheers and applause of parents and other spectators as they watch the game.

There are missed balls and knocked over Tees. There are missed bases, there are home runs made by boys and girls that keep on running as a player on the opposing team holds on to the ball or throws the ball in the wrong direction. It is hard to resist playing in that dirt or spinning in excitement. So much fun and so many distractions and yet T-Ball is a family game that is enjoyed by kids and parents alike.

Players sometimes lose track of the game as they draw pictures on the infield, roll in the grass or dance because they hit the ball off the Tee and yet with every game or practice they learn more about baseball and participating as a team. This is Pleasant Hill Babe Ruth – Cal Ripken T-Ball and the players you are watching today are our stars of the future. Sure they are just having fun now but time flies by fast when you are having fun. In a year or two the T-Ball player you see today will be playing Babe Ruth – Cal Ripken baseball. A short time later they may just be that high school or college baseball star. And yes, you just might be looking at a future big league player so maybe you need to start collecting your autographs now.

Congratulations Pleasant Hill T-Ball Gold and T-Ball Navy you have some great baseball players in trainin
