On Labor Day we hosted a family gathering and it was the perfect opportunity for Batting Practice.
Batting Practice is an athletic tradition shared by me, my son David and his son Jackson.
We take a huge box of softballs, a heavy bat and our mitts to the local schoolyard where each of us takes their swings at the plate, another lobs it in and the third shags.
I must admit to extreme pregame anxiety, as I considered all of my advancing physical maladies and what could go wrong.
I’m happy to report it all went (fun filled) well and, cherry on the top, Jackson said I had “deteriorated” the least of we 3 boys since our last session 🙂
And then we feasted the tradition with an ample fun filled lunch at Ben’s.
