The Natural

As the baseball regular season draws to a close and we grieve the Braves so close yet so far last week *sigh*, the game lives on here in our backyard.


Isaiah received a tee ball set in May from Aunt Riri and then spent the summer hacking away at the tee (not the ball). This is no surprise because who really expects a 2 1/2 year old to be able to hit a ball off a tee.

Then over Labor Day weekend, we went to a Braves game in Atlanta and Poppa bought Isaiah a souvenir bat. It's wooden and really the perfect size for toddler. And when I say perfect, I mean perfect. Look at these pictures:

Where's the ball? You may ask. Well, it's not on the tee because he hit cleanly into in the infield (usually straight up the middle). And you will also note that he hit from both sides.


Maybe he'll be on the resurgent World Champion Braves team of 2030.
