NanceXToo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) My 5 y/o son started teeball today, and my three nephews are all on the same team with him. None of them have ever played before. My youngest nephew, age 4, was told by the coach to run around all the bases.... "And make sure you touch all the bases!" So he starts running, gets to first base, bends down and touches it... with his hand! Then proceeded to do the same thing at every other base. LOL. It was so funny and cute! --- ETA: Okay I just posted this to page 2 but I don't know if everyone will read the whole thread, so I'm pasting it into this first post, too: --- OK so now I can tell a cute story about my 5 y/o son, too. We were showing his dad videos of Ben's first practice today, since his dad was at work and couldn't see it firsthand. As we're watching one of the videos, a little boy on the team who we don't know came into view running toward home plate, and my husband went, "Who's that?" My son said: "His name's Hustle." LMAO. I had to explain that no, his name isn't Hustle. The coach says "let's go, hustle!" to ALL the kids and it means "hurry up!" :lol::lol::lol: Edited March 19, 2011 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Cute! I can picture my ds6 yo doing the same thing. They can be so literal at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Adorable. My favorite from my DD's T-ball season last year was the little boy who was running the bases when a coach for the other team called at a player to "go get the ball"-so he left the base line, went, and got the ball! He had SUCH a grin on his face, too :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 So cute! We had a little guy last year who had just learned to slide. He had a great hit--out to center field--and could have made it all the way around the bases. But! He though he had to slide into *every* base. Once he dropped his bat, he ran down toward first and slid into the base. He got up and headed to second. He slid into second before picking himself up and running to third where, of course, he slid. By this time the fielders had gotten the ball to the infield so we weren't able to see him slide home. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katemary63 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My son said: "His name's Hustle." :lol::lol: When my son was only 3 he was on his first Tball team. During one practice he was standing in the outfield, supposed to be going after grounders the coach was hitting but he had his glove covering his entire face. I yelled out, "Josh! Put your glove down! Watch the ball!" He shouted back, "But the sun's in my eyes!" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 lol... that is cute. They are just so adorable at this age! Always saying the cutest/funniest things. (My son also recently told me we should give money to poor people who have tomatoes. It took a while but I finally realized he meant tornadoes). :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in CA Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 :lol: Cute! I love all these stories. I miss T-ball! Our funniest story is from my son's first game -- he was between first and second base when one of the basemen got the ball. He ran toward my son to tag him out, and my son promptly ran into the outfield and the kid chased him around and around the outfield! :lol: Then there was always the kid in the outfield picking flowers instead of paying attention ...
