Yankees

This year Jake and Reed were fortunate enough to be on the Yankees.  Jake as Center Fielder and Reed as Coach.  We had a great time, and it was a good way to get to know other people.  The baseball is a little different here, not as competitive or political, but we had a great time.  The highlight was probably when Jake hit a triple, which he wanted to stretch into a home run.  He rounded the corner on third only to be met with a clothesline from the base coach and loud instruction to stay put.  

On another note Taylor also played softball this year.  We decided to try a rec league, something that didn't require our whole summer, our whole paycheck, and our very souls.  She did well, and even learned how to play third base, which is like first base except exactly the opposite.  It was a lot for our lefty to wrap her brain around.  As our coach did not draft any pitchers we kind of had a struggle, but even then we had a good time.  Taylor likes things a little more competitive though, so maybe next year she will be on a better team.
