I went to my first T-ball game ever this morning.
This picture is of my little friends Olivia & Eli. They "belong" to our friends Keith & Shelley Granger.
Eli is 6 years old and plays for the Pepsi team. T-ball is fun for the kids because they don't keep score and there are no outs. Everyone gets a chance to bat and run bases. One of the Dad's pitches to the kids and if they can't hit it after three pitches, they sit the ball on a rubber "T" and let the batter hit it from there. They get as many trys as they need to actually hit the ball. When everyone on the team has batted, the other team gets a turn. They generally play two full innings.
The kids are so cute in their baseball uniforms. If you enlarge the second picture (by clicking on it) you will see the third baseman playing in the dirt, while Eli takes his turn at bat. :-)

What a difficult game to follow. Well, anyway, that's nice and all. Do the coaches actually keep score for their own self-emulation?

No, the coaches do not keep score. When a child hits the ball they run to first and stop. The runner that was on first goes to second and so on. They advance one base regardless of what happens with fielding the ball. The fielders do pick up the ball and "try" to throw it to first the firstbaseman, but no matter what happens the runners get to go safely to the next base.
Cutest kids in the whole world. Nothings better than t-ball. The world should run a lot like a t-ball game. Everyone plays nice.
Mom of cutest kids in the world. Thanks for including them in your blog.
