First game ball

Dylan really enjoys tee ball. He's become comfortable starting to call for the ball when covering a base. Last game, he took his budding confidence to another level. He came to bat with a runner at second base. Before he stepped up to hit, he put his hand to his mouth and yelled loudly to the runner at second base, "[player's name]! I'm going to bring you home!" Then he stepped up and pounded the ball into the outfield for a double. The runner did indeed score. Our coach said it was a real Babe Ruth moment, alluding to the fabled called shot in the 1932 World Series. After the game, Dylan received a game ball, his first ever. He was really proud. He should be, he played great.
