Garrett Pujols Cousins

Garrett is #5!

Garrett's first practice was a hoot.

He got out of the car and coach said, "This kid is a machine."

He got up to bat and coach says, "You even stand like a real baseball player."

(Poor coach is dealing with eight children who have never played ball before; and two of them run away from practice regularly.)

Then Garrett starts hitting. Coach Searle, pitching, gets more and more excited as parents start taking notice . . .

"Coach you better take a few steps back."

Coach moves ten feet after Garrett drills one at him on the next pitch.

"Hey, who's your trainer?"

Various oohs and aahs . . .

"Are you gonna be a baseball player when you grow up?"

More of the same . . .

"Do you have the same doctor as A-rod?"

To the other group of kids practicing catching in left field:

"Heads up! . . . Look out! . . . You guys might wanna move!"

And finally, from an anonymous parent whom I love for setting up this gem . . .

"Kid you're gonna make your mama rich one day!" To which Garrett replied,

"I'm gonna be rich EVERY day when I play baseball!"

Then, because I can't resist, I yell to him, "Hey Garrett, switch it up!"

Garrett steps to the other side of the plate . . .

Coach, "No Way! No Way!!!!"

He's swingin' for the trees. Left-handed. Coach is giddy. I love this game.

So cute!!! My best friends mom used to yell "hundred dollars for every home run MB". It is very intimidating to the pitcher. She also hit lots of home runs. However her mom had lots of money. So you could always try .01,.05 so on and so forth. To Garrett thats a million dollars :)Such a cute kid!

It is totally what we talked about, but only in the purest of ways so it is OK. He is AWESOME, that kid is hilarious. You really should of put him in a different league.
