The Grizzlies were at it again...they looked very sharp on Friday. Congratuations to JD for taking away the game's MVP award! JD was a monster at 1st Base making a handful of terrific defensive plays, one on a ball that would have gone foul but JD charged it, gloved it while it was still fair, and got the out. He also hit safely all 3 times at bat. Nice work #12!
Other highlights from the well played game:
- Kyle made an out by hustling off the pitcher's mound to a ground ball and making a solid throw to JD at 1st base. All that throwing camp practice is paying off!
- Toby was probably the day's best at the plate, hitting the ball hard all 3 times he batted.
- Jamison also had a breakout game with the bat, hitting safely in all 3 of his at bats.
- A big Thank You to Brad and Spencer...Coach was watching close this game to see who was down and ready in the field on every pitch and I never once caught Brad or Spencer not ready, even when they were playing the outfield. Just about everyone is doing a better job with being ready and keeping their heads in the game.
Keep up the good work Grizzlies! Too bad today's game couldn't be played due to the cold weather. Our team may be a little crazy showing up to the field in that cold but it's clear now that no one can question our toughness, right?

Breaking in your Baseball Mitt
1- Rub a dab of shaving cream on the cloth and apply it to the palm of the glove. Work outward from the palm in small sections until you've covered the entire glove.
2- Allow the glove to dry overnight.
3- Wipe any excess moisture off the glove and then go play catch with the glove for while. The leather will begin to form to your hand.
4- After playing catch, put the baseball in the pocket of the glove, then pull the glove closed around the ball. Use a thick rubber band or a belt to tie the glove in place. Let the glove rest like that for at least two days. Put it under Dad’s mattress and have him sleep on it (if Mom isn't too opposed to the idea :-)
5- Untie the glove and remove the ball. Apply a little oil over the entire mitt, covering it lightly.
6- The glove should be dry and ready to use in about one day.
7- Always store the glove with a ball in it. This helps keep the shape.
