An All-Star Line-up...

Well, after a not-so-successful baseball season, Cody was picked once again for the All-star team here in the Big O. He, (and Mom and Dad)are very excited!! He did a great job for his team, the Yankees, this season as pitcher, 1st and 3rd baseman, and even played catcher this year. During some of the games he pitched you could hear parents going, "Ow!" or "Wow!" when the ball would hit the catcher's glove, or the backboard if the catcher missed. Just glad I wasn't on the receiving end of that ball!! Here is the Olney Major League All-Star team for 2010:


And here is some mighty fine pitching going on during a practice game --

I do believe he struck this kid out, along with many others during this game...

So, if you find yourself with nothing to do next week, we start our all-star games on Monday, June 28 right here in Olney! 8:00 p.m. to be exact. We have lots of lawn chairs and stands that need to be filled!!

Cody, we are so very proud of your accomplishments this season! You have grown not only as a ballplayer, but more importantly as a person. Remember, good sportsmanship, whether you win or lose, always makes you a better player, and person. We love you! Can't wait to watch some GREAT baseball over the next couple of weeks!!

Oh, yeah -- that's my nephew! Woo-hoo!

Unfortunately our VBS is when your games are or we'd be there to watch you! We'll be yelling from Snyder though. So proud of you, Cody Bear!
