Eyewitness accounts suggest 'This boy has got game'

Jen and I are still in Europe (Brussels), which made Mom Minster's play-by-play account of Isaac's first game of the season so awesome:

It wasn't just the black baseball shirt with the #6 and the name 'Asay' printed on the back and the matching baseball hat that made him the 'cool dude', although he looked like a little jock stuttin' out on that field.

It wasn't just the new black baseball cleats with the white stripes on the side that he picked out himself with the cool new black and white batting gloves sticking out of the back pockets of his baseball pants just like the professionals do that made him a 'cool dude.'

Those things were 'cool'. But the coolest thing was knowing that he was the hero of the game, responsible for 4 of the six runs with his high fly to left field while the bases were loaded and winning the game 6 to 4!! The spectators weren't too surprised however, because his first hit was a line drive between first and second base that proved to be a double for him, running like greased lightning to second base. And his handiwork as the first baseman was pretty terrific too!

Who was this 'cool dude'?

Why, ISAAC ASAY, of course!

What a great summary of the game! Jen and I wanted so much to be there, but doubly so now that I've read Mom Minster's report.

His coach's report was also nice:

[Isaac] hit 2 great hits, a double and a triple; I think Isaac had 5 RBI out of 6 runs we scored. We won 6 to 4. He was our
top hitter for our first game which is why we had him hitting 4th, cleanup, in our line up and he did a great job on first base....

He is a great kid, everyone on the team really likes him and he tries very hard to do all our different drills. He will make great progress this year.

He's right: Isaac really is a great kid.
