The Boy had an early baseball game on Saturday morning and the biggest excitement off the field was when a foul ball sailed over the fence and hit a spectator right in the stomach. Luckily, he was fine. He happened to be texting at the time of the impact, and darned if he didn't just keep on texting. Here's a picture:
Obviously, I'm totally kidding because that guy is clearly not at a little league game. But you can check out some funny pictures of people who are texting at inopportune moments here. You'll probably want to look after you read my post because it's not all that funny and you might want to look at some Civil War reenactors texting General Lee.
The on field excitement happened when the Boy's team (White Sox) won the game in the last inning with two outs. Pardon me while I bore you with the details because they're kind of relevant to the post. When the last inning began, the White Sox were down two runs, but the top of the batting order was up. The lead off batter popped out. The second batter, Sam singled. The Boy was up third and he hit a grounder between first and second base. The first baseman got to base before the Boy and he was called out, but Sam advanced to second. Logan, the fourth batter, hit a double to drive in Sam, whose run tied the game. Brian was the final batter and he hit a single, but Logan managed to score and the White Sox won.
Yay, right? Well, not so much for the Boy who was beside himself for getting tagged out at first. The fact that his hit had advanced the tying run escaped his comprehension because he was so upset about getting out.
