Tucker and the All-Stars

Last week Tucker was playing in the

All-Star Tournament in Cedar City.

His team had been kicking bums and

taking names, winning most of their games

by the 10 point rule (ten runs ahead and you win!).

He even made it into the St. George paper for his

first press clipping!!

They were undefeated and playing in the finals...

so we loaded up Grandma Billie and decided

to make a day trip of it.

This is his team ... 11 and 12 year olds so he is one of

the younger ones. Bob is the assistant coach.

Truth be known, Tucker doesn't play as much as

he would like or should (if you ask us!).

He was available to pitch the WHOLE tournament

and was never called upon...criminal, really!

In between innings he was able to visit

with his fan club. (Connie and Lyle and

Amy and her crew were all there too. )

As it turned out, Tucker's team had a bad day.

They lost and then had to play the same team

immediately after since it was double elimination.

Wouldn't you know when your WHOLE fan club

comes, your team stinks it up?

Regardless, he played well and I would have

traveled twice as far to see him.

Grandma Billie was about done in....but

she loves baseball where ever it is played.

I think Tucker took the losses better than

Bob. Oh well, wait until next year when he

is a 12 year old!!! They will clean their plows!

And you better believe I will be there to see it...

Love you, Tucker!
