Moving up the ranks from T-Ball to Instructional Ball to Little League to the Majors and School Ball, (and somewhere in between them all, Travel Baseball), countless hours, days, months and years have been spent on the baseball fields. During that time, many memorable pictures have been taken to capture the exciting moments using Grandpa's camera that he wore with great pride around his neck. When I inherited the camera, I learned to do the same. The pictures are a reminder of the precious moments that this sport has provided over the years. The biggest dilemma we always faced in our family as the parents of three talented boys was, "Who will we watch today?" Yaya and Papa, Kyle's grandparents, always planned to be at one game while we were at another. During Travel Ball, our family often spent many weekdays during the spring traveling back and forth to Rotterdam for practices with the Knights. We traveled to many places during
the summers including Tulsa, Oklahoma for the Sandy Kofax World Series. Kyle played for the Saratoga Stampede for two summers and also participated in two Empire State Games.

I remember the times that I yearned to have a "normal" dinner or one
weekend to "catch up" at home, but all too soon, the season ended and
the "baseball withdrawal" began. I would always find myself missing the
thrill of the game and the closeness we felt as a family, as well as
the camaraderie that developed with the other team members and their
families. From all the time spent at games, traveling, winter
practices, batting cages, hitting, pitching and catching lessons, the
pride I feel as a mom is endless. Kyle is a happy, well-rounded and
successful young man who has been the greatest source of pride
imaginable. We are all looking forward to a bright future that will
begin this fall at Siena College.
