Summer 2010 was a whirlwind to say the least. After recovering from our Class Reunion we found ourselves in baseball season full force. This was our first year in kid pitch and boy was it fun. Speaking of pitch...Floyd proved himself to be a pretty dog gone good pitcher. He played second base when he wasn't pitching but I believed he loved the pressure of the mound. Our dear friend, Suresh Chawla, who was like a surrogate father to Floyd partly this summer while his own family summered in India with his wife's family. Needless to say he was wonderful to spend the time he did with us and the interest of our kids. I mean seriously, who does that kind of stuff? An amazing person and friend that's who! I digress...back to the ballpark. At least 2-3 nights per week in the month of June you could find us at Stribling Park. I wish I could remember the field number b/c we played on the same field each time....I know it was sponsored by Lucas-Bowden surgical group. Anyway....Here are a few pics from more than likely our last game when we finally realized we needed to bring a camera! We played for Kittle Insurance company. The downfall....Maroon and White were our colors. That took some adjustment. Floyd caught hell from his Bulldog buddies who know he's a raving Rebel fan. It was all in good fun.
"What do you mean that was a strike?"
Hit that ball boy!
Group Shots!!
Floyd also made the Greenwood 9 year old All Star team which played in its tournament July 4th weekend in Winona, Ms. (Who does that?? I mean seriously. Who schedules a baseball tournament for a holiday family weekend?) Needless to say, I don't think we are going to college on a baseball scholarship. This is for FUN people....let it go....There are wayyyy to many serious suspects out there in the world of baseball. One good thing of the all star weekend...our uniforms were an awesome bright green for "Greenwood" I suppose. That made Floyd smile. Another thing that made Floyd smile was his good buddy, Sunjay, who got back from India in time to be able to play in the All Star game. How cute are they!!
We were also able to play in a tennis tourney this summer. We played in the Greenville Jr. Cotton Classic. Floyd played singles and doubles. He lost in the consolation finals but had a great time and learned some valuable tennis lessons. Here is a double match with Walt Pillow, James McClemore, Floyd and Cole Tyler.
