His first passion was baseball, I remember as soon as he was walking around and could understand the sport he was hooked. He used to say, "bayball." He loves his New York Yankee cap, and loves wearing jerseys so he can look like a baseball player. He has a hell of a swing too, specially for his age. He can hold the ball and bat himself and hit the ball right up at you. Of course he is a toddler so when under pressure, he will act all silly and shy. He can stay at any sports related store forever if I let him. He loves going straight for the baseball helmet, bat, and glove carrying it around the whole time. He has bats and balls at home but he just can't get enough. He was just a baby, not even fully talking when we first took him to Yankee Stadium for his first game, when he enjoyed cheering with the crowd. We don't go as often as we'd like but he is one very young, huge fan of baseball. Recently he has learned how to differentiate the pitcher, and the catcher and their positions plus responsibilities the way he sees it. His love for baseball still remains and is only getting stronger as he learns more.
So many things about my little boy that makes me proud, and his love for baseball is just one of them. I could go on and on about him now, but I'll continue more about all the reasons why I'm proud of him in later posts.
