Our Baseball Player




This is Riley at his first game this year. He is on the Athletics this year in what is called the American League. The leagues are by ages, he is in the 10 - 12 age group. In baseball here, kids are never on the same team each year. The league does a draft pick each season, so we never know what team he'll be on. As you can see he is wearing a mask. Back in January, Riley broke his nose from a little accident he had with the house! He also broke it last baseball season...that we were unaware of. So to be safe, he needs to wear the mask. He doesn't mind wearing it, it does give him a bit more confidence to get out there.
