Brogan's Rookie Tournament

Brogan played in his first baseball tournament tonight. He was sooo excited because this was the first time all year that they would keep score. His team, the Dodgers, were the visitors against the Rangers. They warmed up for awhile and Brogan was all ready to be first up to bat. Then the teams were announced with all the kids getting their names called out. Look how small Brogan is next to all the other players. He struck out his first up at bat, but on his second up at bat he got a home run! (Due to overthrows that is.) Brogan loves to slide into home plate...even if he's not even close to being tagged out. His third up at bat, he got out at first. He played out in right center field and while I waited and waited to take a picture of him when the ball came out to him, it never did. That is until I finally went and sat down in the bleachers and wouldn't you know it.....the ball was hit right to him! He did really good at getting the ball back in to the infield. The game was pretty long. Almost 2 1/2 hours, because the teams kept tying the game up. The Dodgers ended up losing 20-19, but it was a great, exciting game. After the game, Brogan walked out of the gate by the dugout and simply said, "I'm the only one not crying." He really is a good loser. He just has fun. The kids on his team were not only sad about losing, but as Brogan's friend Trevor said while crying, "I'm really going to miss this team."
