Tanner had a great regular season baseball team. Several boys from our neighborhood were on the team as were a lot of his friends from school. Tanner played first base and he pitched.
At the end of the regular season, there was a little tournament. Tanner's team won the first three games, then lost on a Friday night to a tough St. Anthony team. Since it was a double elimination tournament, Tanner's team had another chance to to win. We came back Saturday morning knowing we could beat the first team we played, which we did. His little baseball team was now playing in the championship against the same team that beat Tanner's team on Friday night. In order to win, though, they would have to beat the St. Anthony team twice. Would you believe they did it??? Three games and nearly 7 hours of baseball later, Tanner's team had won the upper valley baseball championship.
Here's the team, lined up after the big win waiting for the awards ceremony.
Tanner is high-fiving his coach. Which one is taller?
Tanner's incredible little baseball team. Five of these players (including Tanner) went on to play on the All-Star team, coached by Tanner's regular season team of coaches (including his dad). It was a great baseball season for Tanner.
