I try to join them, but also enjoy watching them play and learn to get along without my interference. Their concept of Ghost Runners and their actions on the basepaths is an incredible sight to see.<br /><br />The best part was joining them last week. I hit weakly back to the pitcher and my 12-yr old athlete. He threw at me to get me out (legal in dodge ball as well as wiffle ball). Still holding the bat for some reason, I swung at this throw - and hit the ball into the outfield! I rounded the rest of the bases much to his disgust.<br /><br />After explaining how things like this are permissible in wiffle ball versus real baseball - it served as a life lesson that dad is always a step ahead of you. Just when they thought they had 'caught up' to me in something, i pulled a rabbit out of my hat. it was such a fun afternoon, I am sure they will re-count the story of my hitting the ball a second time to their children.<br /><br />FYI, we stopped playing backyard baseball when we broke the neighbors window!PittCalebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478143388754502179noreply@blogger.com
