Opening Day

as per an email chris sent with a picture in february:

Here's a pic of Vince looking ready at 1st base. Opening day was Saturday. Since this year there are several boys on his team that are capable of fielding a ball and throwing it to first base, he combined with them to make a bunch of outs at 1st. He also made a double-play by catching a pop-fly and tagging first (the first base runner went to second without tagging up and so Vince got him out too after Vince's coaches reminded him to tag base).

He also got a hit at each of his 3 at-bats. So I told him after the game that his batting average is 1000. He said he wants to keep it up next game so his average goes higher than 1000. I started explaining to him that that isn't technically possible but then realized that an understanding of averages and percentages isn't a prerequisite to playing little league.
