Brady and his TVBR 14u cohort played their final two games of the Spring season this evening. They finished with a very respectable 18-6-2 record, which was good enough to secure them the top spot in the BATS league.

There have certainly been plenty of ups and downs this season, but all in all, I think it's been a good experience for Brady. Given that he's introverted and a lot of the boys already knew one another when the team was first formed, he had to work pretty hard to integrate. But he wound up doing just fine. And I'm proud of him for working to make it happen.

There's more baseball to come, of course --the Big Season begins in just a few days-- but I'm grateful for this chapter that's come to a close.
