After 7 years living the dream with baseball fields basically in our backyard, Mason has wrapped up his last year in Majors at Westside. The end of baseball season is always interesting. It always ends on a loss thanks to the tournament style play, and usually your personal play is at it's best or worst. Mason seems to rally for the tournaments, so he's lucky to usually end on a high note. This year was no exception. He had a great couple of last games, with solid hitting (5-5), base running (2 delayed steals at home) and fielding (pitching, catching, 1st and Center). He ended the season behind the plate, which is usually his favorite spot on the field. This year he also got a taste for pitching for the first time, and now loves that as well. We wrap it up not knowing if Westside will have a Juniors program, or if Mason will want to play or if he will be throwing his energy into something else at this time next year, and that's ok. We can wait and see. And what will be, will be. But 7 great years at Westside has left its mark on this young man for sure. Confidence, I love it when kids find it and use it.
