Well baseball is back.  Tristan’s old Little League decided to become a Pony League this year, so it’s been interesting so far.  When it was a little league, most people didn’t take it too seriously but now there is a much more competitive vibe to it.  Tristan wanted to keep playing at the same place instead of going to another little league.  Pony has some different rules and mostly uses the same rules as professional baseball, like you can steal bases at any time and there is no 5 run limit in an inning.  They also play more games, some time playing more than one game during the week and another on Saturday with a practice squeezed in, keeping Tristan busy. So far Tristan likes it and his coach seems good and to know what he is doing.  The coach is new to Olive, having coached travel ball before, but his kids go to Nohl Canyon so Tristan knows them.  Tristan missed opening day, as he had caught a virus, which he was pretty bummed about, and the second game got rained out.  He finally go to play in the third game.
