My "Brave" Little Brother



Ahh the Braves. The poor little Braves. This is the first year that my brother has been on a team where the wins have been scarce. He has always been on a team that came in Second or Third. However, this year we have been lucky to get a couple of wins. The team had a few excellent players (my brother being one of them) but they just weren't enough to carry the whole team. You know that awkward kid that runs funny and always misses those ground balls in the outfield. . .yeah. . .we totally had like three of those kids. Bummer. . .but the bright side is that my brother was hand selected by the coach to try out for All Stars. That was so exciting!! He did really well at tryouts and he made one of the All Star teams, so now he plays baseball like all summer! He was so excited! I'm super proud of him! Way to go Nikko!
Here's the gang all decked out in our Brave's attire (which is totally one of my favorite shirts now) for the last game. The bottom pic is my bro nailing a foul ball. He hit a good one after that and I think made it all the way around for a run. We won our last game which kinda made the whole season worth it. You should have heard the cheering from the Brave's section. . .you would think we never win or something. . . :-) Those moms (umm. . .and sisters) were going crazy! :-)
Yay for Little League!!
