Parents vs the Kids

A couple of weeks ago, when Brian's Baseball team was still winless, the Baseball moms devised a scenario to build up their sons' self esteem for the less than successful season - a moms vs kids baseball game, which, of course, the kids would win.
The kids found out about the match up right after they won their first game, and riding the high of that win, started with the smack talk - ("we are going to whup your tushies!").

With the team no longer winless, the match up morphed into a Kids' Family members vs the Kids/Coaches game (no doubt, due to the lack of any baseball acumen of the moms). We set to the field last night, a perfect first day of Fall. We dubbed ourselves the "Moon Angels" team - in direct opposition to the Sun Devils

Scott make some sort of a play as pitcher, Sun Devil Cory minds 1st base:


Can you tell we had a blast playing? We all agreed - this sort of match up should be required for all Little league teams. In the end, the Sun Devils won, mainly due to the moms' being softies. If had been under the dads'/siblings' control, the win would have gone to the Moon Angels.
