The Baseball Fans

I know another baseball post 😏. However, with five boys and many hours and days spent at the fields I thought we should recognize our devoted fan club. We are lucky enough to have Gramma and Grandma Shockey  cheering at one of the boys' games every day it seems.
 I believe we had a "fan" at every game this year. We also had Aunt Lindsey, Lizzie, Lucy, Papa, Uncle Brendan, Aunt Laura and Riley cheering on throughout the season. I love that even though it may be hot, humid, freezing, windy, rainy they all came and showed support for our boys.

Believe me you may not think it's a big deal to you to go watch a game but it means the world to all five boys. They love when their family comes to watch them play. Thank you for cheering them on!

Of course, I cannot leave out each brother. It does not matter if they just played an intense game each one of our boys were there to support and cheer for their brother at his game when they could. It may not always look like it but, for some portion of each game they would watch and cheer on their brother. There was always games to play, dirt to dig, other siblings to play with, practice to do while they watched each other play. Oh yes, we cannot leave out the exciting trip to the snack shack as a special treat too.

All Star Post Season Liam and Colin

Colin and Liam both played in the post season tournaments this year. Colin played with the merged Pony team at the Carter Lake tournament (due to the tournament rules unfortunately, Tristan was eight days too old to play) and Liam played the minors Hillside tournament.

Colin's played awesome but his team was out after three games. He still played hard and it was yet another great set of games to watch.

Liam's team played really well and placed third in the tournament. He played like a champ and enjoyed every minute of it.

Our Four Time Baseball Champ!

Colin is now a four time Hillside/Memorial Champion! He is the only kid in the league to have won three years in a row. He won with the San Diego State Aztecs, TCU Horned Frogs, Oklahoma State Cowboys and Pony Orange teams. TCU was in 2015, OSU was in 2016 and Pony Orange in 2017 which makes three in a row. In 2013 Colin and Tristan were on the same winning Aztecs team. He must be doing something right to be a part of so many winning teams. Congratulations Colin!!
