Baseball 2010

Kelton was the only returning player from the Yankees, so he was re-drafted this year and was chosen by the Giants (they took 1st in state last year!). We have had a couple practice games, and a ton of practices. His coach is awesome. We all have rules to follow according to coach Mat. This is directly from the 3 page letter we received at the mandatory parents meeting. "please cheer for all players including your child, but refrain from yelling at them. During games, please realize I will be instructing them , so please don't compete with me for their attention. Be encouraging, but don't yell 'instructions', that's my job. I'm open to discussing any issues, but would prefer that players, not parents, raise issues about playing time, because a player learning how to ask a coach about playing time learns a great life lesson." We also have 8 expectations of the parents.... including stay out of the dugout, if you are experiencing a problem with me other than playing time, i want to know right away, but not during a game...
Opening day Kelton hit 2 for 2 (both home runs--not on errors). We were so proud. He was so proud. He is playing first base and pitching. I can't wait to eat sunflower seeds and sit in the sun and watch ball. Actually, strike that, chase Sam, whilst eating sunflower seeds, and watching ball.

I can't wait until Gavin starts playing sports. Sounds like a good coach. How funny he sent that letter.

A practice was to on occasion omit the model series name on the face of the watch and simply use the replica watches company name. When replica watch designed a watch for a particular audience, then it would add the model series to the face. The Replica Vacheron Constantin Watches Rail master is one such example when it was launched in 1957, but the name has now stuck.
