If Michael had never taken a swing all year, he would have walked about 95 percent of the time; in fact, at one point, he had walked at over 20 straight at bats. It was killing his desire to play, so we said no more, and had him start swinging at the pitches once more.
At first he was rusty and had a tendency to bail out of the batting box, but now things seem to be getting better. At his team's playoff game, Michael had a nice RBI in the middle of the game which turned out to be important at the end since it was a close contest. His team won, and he contributed, but he was happiest about earning his way to first.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
