The Pirates 2012...

 Zach played baseball this past spring.  We played him up a year skipping Rookie and onto to Coach Pitch so that he wouldn't be such a "goofball".   We played him up so that he would be intimidated by the other players, hoping that it would force him to focus in order to keep up with the older boys.  As you can see he was the smallest on his team, but our little plan worked and rose to the occasion.  He was sent to the outfield until his fielding skills improved, but by the end of the season he played pitcher and even played first base one game where he got three consecutive outs.  He loved it and is excited to play again next year.

Of course the pizza party and the trophy were all a part of it too!  Way to go Zach on a great season.  They only lost one game!
