The kid there in the batter's box (Isaac, in case you can't tell) had such a great day.
And then he played well in his game against Arroyo High in San Lorenzo, earning a walk and a triple (which was his first hit of the season, too). It was the first time I'd seen him triple in... well, I don't remember the last time. (Neither does he.) And his was the third consecutive triple by his team during an especially productive inning.
Even better, I could hear him chirping away in the dugout when he wasn't out in the field, at the plate or on base, encouraging his teammates and just having a good time being out there.
On the way home, after they'd secured the win, he sighed contentedly and said "I love playing baseball." It made my heart happy to see him feeling so content, and I am grateful for that blessing.
