And then comes t-ball

To say that Malachi was excited to finally be on a baseball team, is an enormous understatement.  This kid is all sports.  He takes it so seriously and I just love to watch him.  He's not the best one on the team but he is one of the best.  Yes, he's a good hitter.  Yes, he can throw the ball fairly accurately.  Yes, he can field the ball pretty well.  But the reason he's one of the best players is because he is a team player.  He encourages his teammates.  He gives them high fives.  He pats them on the head and tells them they did a good job.  I don't care if he can play ball; I care that he is a good leader and a good teammate.

Do you see what is happening here? Malachi is right handed.  He decided that he want's to be a "lefty" which means he is insisting on being a 'switch hitter.'  And he can do it!

Daddy is a coach on Malachi's team.  Malachi tells him that he is his 'favorite' coach.
