John Plays Catcher

During the T-Ball season, the coaches move the kids around the field in order to give them the opportunity to try out different positions. John finally was able to be the catcher. John was not at all amused by this proposition. He did not want to put all that gear on. However, he was not given much choice--by his parents. All we could think about was how cute he would look. Poor kid. He could hardly walk! Worse, he couldn't see the ball. When the ball did come to him, he had to feel around the dirt until finally one of his coaches came to the rescue to hand him the ball. Nonetheless, he looked pretty darn cute.
