When Beau was a baby I told Marta that if I could get this kid to be left-handed he'd pay for his own college. His first toy was of course a baseball with a little rattle inside. I'd hand his toys to his left hand and have him throw them to me with his left. I was - mostly - joking. Then as the kid turned out to actually be left handed I felt like I had tempted fate a bit too much. So I've backed off a bit and haven't pushed him too much into baseball. But the kid loves it...and I'm honestly not too upset by that.
Reviewing the latest baseball pics I was reminded of his first season when I took this A's shot. Same kid, same bat, same stare.
