#95 Take DeVore kids out on dates: Sport

Sport has been on a traveling baseball team for the past two years, so when his mom (my sister) suggested that he would like going to an Owlz game (another benefit of the PoaP), I knew that was the way to go.

Turns out, he'd never been before, and he was ecstatic.  He combed his hair, brought his favorite hoodie, and had his mit sitting out on the porch, just waiting for me to arrive.  He chatted with whole drive to and from the game (25 mins/way), and most of the game, too!

My family is not super into sports.  Not even a little bit.  So I knew just the very basics of the game.  But lucky for me, I was sitting with a baseball expert!  He told me all about the nitty gritty rules (what is considered a "ball," when you get 4 balls you can walk to first, but you can't steal 2nd) and how to read the score board.  He told me what RBI was, and I explained to him how averages worked.  It was great.  AND the Owlz won by 8 points!


I love that he's not too old to hug me.  ;)
