[Leica] IMG: T-Ball and Coach-Pitch Baseball

[Jim Nichols]

Today, I took in a couple of baseball games for the younger set. This 
was my first experience with "T-Ball".  They didn't appear to keep 
score, but everyone participated and got a lot of exercise.

First, the girls wear pink helmets.

The kids do hit the ball, usually on the first attempt, so the 
photographer has to be quick.

Baseball Moms sometimes stand out in the crowd.  One of these had a 
young baby in a front sling, while the other had hair that was hard to miss.

My grandson is the coach of a "Coach-Pitch" team.  Here, I caught him in 
a strategy meeting with a hitter.

And one can catch an action shot in the Coach-Pitch league.
