Muckdog catching

Posted on March 5, 2007 | Comments Off on Muckdog catching

Still working on barehanded catching of a tennis ball with Mr. Boy to help alleviate fear of catching a baseball, since catching is the biggest problem of his age 6-7 baseball team, the Muckdogs. Funny picture yesterday at practice. Wish I’d gotten a snap of it. One kid hit a pop fly in the infield (they’re all pretty good hitters) and it was coming down right at the shortstop who only had to stick out his glove and watch it fall right in. Instead, the shortstop covered his head with the glove and ran to get out of the way.

    Seen that one before (Eva says it seems just like yesterday even though it was 26 years ago). The other one is where they all stick out their gloves as far as they can in front of them and the ball falls between all of them. It just takes practice, practice practice. I can still remember hitting grounders and flys for hours.

    It’s fun watching them. They take it pretty seriously, even Mr. B. who tends to clown around.
