I figured it was time for one of those "proud mom" posts, being that Mother's Day is tomorrow!Today was the first day since Cam's season started that it was actually enjoyable (weather wise) to sit on the bleachers and watch him play, and boy did he (and the team) play ... well after warming up and rolling around in the grass!
Cam is playing first base this year. It seems this coach realizes that his height and good glove would be better used at first base rather than at catcher - the only position he had played the previous two seasons. Having moved into the Major League this year, competition for positions is tough, and there were two other catchers who outperformed Cam. He was a bit disappointed in the beginning, but he seems to be enjoying this new found place on the team.
Although this photo doesn't show it, his hitting has been his strong point. Seven games into the season his average is just under .500. In his two at bats today he had a stand-up double and a strike out - and he went down swinging.
His team won today, 1-0 and they are 5-2 for the season. Oh, and we've managed only one rain out which for a Chicago spring isn't bad at all!
