For Eric, along with many others, there is nothing quite like the way it feels to swing a bat. The sound of a bat hitting a ball, or a ball hitting a glove is like sweet music. My friend Ben likes to remind me...."There is nothing more difficult than hitting a round ball with a round bat". The excitement of being a part of the crowd cheering our team on at the ballpark. Hot dogs and cracker jacks never taste better than when you are eating them and watching the game. The home run derby. Singing our hearts out during the seventh inning stretch. Sun flower seeds. What other phrase can bring such energy to a crowd like "Play ball!". Just a few reasons that baseball is America's favorite pass-time. We love baseball!
Today Pearce joined the ranks of baseball lovers everywhere when he discovered the joy of swinging a bat. We might have a future Cardinal on our hands.

Such a cute little ball player. I can't wait to see him and Rowan this December.
