Parental Gloating

It's a parent's duty to gloat. Ask any of them. In that spirit, give me a few moments...

Gabe's had a tough little league season so far. The team of eight and nine year olds had opened with a win, but have lost every game since... some were one-run games, others were not so close. Gabe is one of the better players on a below average team and he's been very frustrated. His competitive nature gets the best of him and losing multiple games is hard on him.

Saturday, he had a very good game and helped the team win their second game. He pitched a shutout inning, stole home and hit a home run.


I decided to bring my video camera t
o this game and put together a small little highlight reel to brighten his spirits.


Sure, this entire entry
is a parent being overly proud of his child, but if I don't do it, who will? :)

You'll need a free Quicktime Player (located here) to view it. Most computers have it, but if you
don't, you can download it here.

Here's the highlights:

The clip shows Gabe pitching and making a diving play

Striking out a player

Making another diving play to end the inning.

He then hits his homerun and
beats the throw to the plate.

Enjoy. We did.
