This was Owen's first year playing with the Manhattan Titans, and he had a wonderful experience. Throughout the course of the season, I think he played every position except 1st base and maybe one other spot. The team traveled a lot--mostly to KC. For the first time since we've had kids playing baseball we seemed to get the remote locations in KC (near the airport, in Libery, MO). As with the Braves (his former team) we loved the other families and Graham and Miles had lots of siblings to play with at games. If I remember right, every tournament was affected by rain (usually delays or altering format to get games in). Maybe we brought the rain! The boys ended their season with on a 28-3 run, finishing 3rd (out of 32 and 24 teams) at two different World Series. They were undefeated starting bracket play at the State Tournament when it was canceled due to lightning.
There were many early Saturday mornings. When I had to take Owen myself, he paid me back by helping grade papers in the car.
He switched from #9 to #5 this year since Dayne was already #9. Now he is #5 for both basketball and baseball.
Taking it easy between games in Liberty, MO.
