Summer Softcore Kickball at Sewallcrest Park Sundays

This was a special day for the kids from Canada?. Not only was it one of (if not the) first public outing of Levi and Eve's new baby girl Aurielle (forgive me if the spelling is wrong), but Papa Levi made his growing family proud by absolutely blasting ball after ball deep into the Sewallcrest grass. In true Levi fashion, a slow home run trot will not suffice, as he sprinted around the bases, while avoiding the incredibly slick, new home plate. Congratulations Eve and Levi! And great win Canada?!

Some players are so loud and brash, you almost want them to get hit with the ball... for example, let's take Eric "Red" Russell. Red is a good dude. Red sometimes doesn't know when to get out of his own way. Today, Red got hit, not once, but twice in the noggin (playfully, mind you, once by running into an out with the ball ricocheting off his body to his face, and once getting pegged while running). Couple that with having to stretch his frame at 1st to catch some wild throws, and Red spent a lot of his day in the dirt as well. It was a rough day, but Red came through with some big kicks in the meantime, and Cool Runnings kept rolling...

This week's POTW goes to Justin Nichols for showing up early and sticking around late to see if anyone needed subs to field a team. One of the leftovers from the old days at Sewallcrest, Justin has made it a habit to be friendly and inviting to new players, teaching them some tricks along the way.
