For the first time (in any sport), Brendan and Ethan were
on the same team which in addition to being really fun made our
lives much easier. Ethan was the ace of the pitching staff and
additionally was a catcher and shortsop. Brendan was also a pitcher
and played infieldd and outfield as well. (Also see last
year's baseball pictures).
Thanks to the generosity of a friend, Brendan got the chance
to be a "celebrity bat boy" for a Colorado Rockies
game at Coors Field. He got a tour of the stadium facilities
followed by the opportunity to watch batting practice from the
field where virtually the whole team signed his souvenier bat.
He also got to be on the big screen in center field during the
pregame cermonies.
