Texas T Ball



How old do you have to be to play T-Ball in Texas? How about 3 or maybe 3 1/2? And at that age you should know what a baseball is and a bat! And if you don't know what T-ball is, imagine a baseball resting on top of a pole - that is adjustable to your height - then your instructed to hit that ball hard! with the bat, of course. Imagine yourself or Blake, 3 1/2 years old looking at that white ball & being told to swing!!! According to mom, Holly, Blake swung so hard the bat & Blake turned a complete circle and the momentum plopped him on the ground with a thud! She couldn't stop laughing! But I never heard whether Blake hit the ball!!


Blake does like to catch a ball and at his age he is remarkable!!! I watched him last fall and couldn't believe his uncanny ability to catch a ball. I still think his dad, Joe makes him practice every afternoon after day care! Catching is one thing, hitting is another. Maybe we'll get an update on Blake's batting average, in a couple years when he's in the big league!


Incidently, Blake is playing for the Mildred, Texas Day Care Team!
