If you have ever been to a T-Ball game, you'll relate to this post. If you know Harrison, a little or a lot, you'll really relate to this post.
Harrison has been counting down the days until T Ball started for months. The prepartions for becoming a part of the Pullman Parks and Rec New York Yankees T-Ball team included: playing catch with John, batting practice, and trying on Spencer's old baseball uniform (from when he was 9). Sure, the uniform is about 3 sizes too big, but that doesn't matter to Harrision, who insists he must wear the white baseball pants to every practice and game.
Finally, the time came for practices to begin (early May) and then the first game (May 27). In true Harrison form, with great gusto and exhuberance, the hillarity has begun. Harrison is loving this! He hits pretty well, has a strong throwing arm, runs fast and....slides after everyone one of those things! We have invested in a variety of stain removers to get us through the season! And, when he plays first base, and you're the lucky kid running in, you'll be congratulated with a high five and maybe a hug (see photo below).
Yes, Harrison has taken up America's greatest summer pastime. He loves it and we love watching him play!
Enjoy!

A HUG for the opposing team?!? That's simply incredible. Best Sportsmanship Award to him hands down!
