OT: Coley Pride

Let’s face it I’m very proud of my older granddaughter, Coley, who’s a super soft ball player. She usually plays catcher on the Manton team sponsored by Meijer, though she’s a great third baseman and shortstop. Though not a power hitter, she can get the bat on the ball and gets more than her share of hits. I modestly take credit for that because she could hit anything I threw at her, despite the fact I couldn’t find the strike zone. Oh yes, she’s a thief. She’d steal home plate if it wasn’t nailed down. Oh wait. She does that too.

Here’s what happens when a pitcher throws a wild pitch when Coley’s on third.
