All-Star Game 2010

Very little makes a parent more proud than seeing their children succeed. Eludius Jr. played his second year of baseball this year and was selected by his peers as one of three representatives from his team to go to the All-Star game.


Nature gave us a hot one. It was a global warming scorcher on the field. Fortunately, there was a bit of an ice-age wind blowing now and then to cool us off. However, we were in the sun most of the time, which to Irish-German-Scottish-English-Americans means plenty of sunscreen.

Despite striking out in his first at-bat, he managed to get 2 singles in his next two at-bats and scored both times. On his second hit he actually got to steal 2nd and 3rd base.


Down 4 runs in the last inning, his team scored 5 runs to go ahead, but the other team managed to score 2 more runs in the bottom of the last inning to win. Despite slumping heads and heavy hearts, parents cheered for the boys and we were all very proud of them. We can't wait until next year!
