Sean’s Baseball Season In Full Swing
April 23, 2008
If its Spring time and we seem busy than usual, it must be baseball season. And it is in full swing. Sean wanted to play with some older and more capable kids this year so he is now playing in a neighboring city instead of Sonoita. When I say neighboring, keep in mind we live in very rural America. The city is 30 minutes away.
The busy schedule has him with practices on Monday evening. He then has games on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on Saturday afternoon. This schedule keeps us hopping pretty good. The Tuesday and Thursday games are usually somewhat “local” and anywhere from 30 – 45 minutes from home. The Saturday games are as far as 90 minutes away.
So far this season, Sean’s team is off to a nice 3 – 1 start. After losing their opening game, they have run off three straight victories and are starting to come together as a team. The pitchers are finding starting to get their rhythm and the bats are starting to loosen up. With a planned 18 games this season, we still have quite a ways to go. The regular season is then followed by the playoffs and state tournament competition.
Once again, Sean is playing catcher this year. He is having a hot and cold season at the plate. He is hitting nicely, with a nice amount of doubles and triples. However, he also has some strikeouts against him as he is still learning to protect the plate with 2 strikes. He has taken too many called third strikes to suit me.
So if you are looking for us for the next couple months, we are likely at the ballpark. And just think, when baseball season ends, we get a short break before football season begins. Oh, and Savannah is still taking her dance classes five nights a week.
Klasens Featured in the Sonoita Bulletin
March 7, 2008
The local paper, the Sonoita Weekly Bulletin, featured the Klasens in two articles this week. The first article chronicles our results at the Show Stopper Competition and the second article highlights our upcoming church benefit show.
I’ve linked the articles up for our readers, however I believe that the link location is only good until the next edition of the paper is published. Ticket sales for the fund raising show have continued to pick-up, and currently we have sold about 65 tickets, bringing us ever closer to our goal of a 100 ticket sell-out. So, there is still time to get your tickets if you want to attend.
