I Really Like Baseball

I really like playing baseball (I'm in Little League) and would like to meet Barry Zito, Nomar Garciaparra, Hideo Nomo, Ichiro Suzuki. I met Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully this year and that was great!

"...and it's a high fly ball...it's gone! A home run... "

Jerseys and hats

image here I'm starting to collect baseball jerseys and hats. I like to wear them when I practice or play with my Little League team, or just for fun.

These are the ones I don't have yet but hope to get someday. The jerseys are listed first.

Ryan Freel, 6, Cincinnati Reds

Now the hats. My hat size is 7 ½ if you're curious: Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twins, New Yor Yankees, Anaheim Angels, Pittsburg Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, Florida Marlins, Tampa Devil Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Washington Nationals, and the Lake Wobegon Whippets.

I'm learning the torah portion now. The cantor made a recording for me to study. I'm learning it backwards--first portion 5, then 4, then 3, then 2 and finally 1. This helps me because I know the end of the portion better than the beginning. I hope it helps!
