Opening day today for Cooperstown Dreams Park. The opening events included some sky divers dressed in baseball uniforms delivering the game balls. Followed by all of the 104 teams from across the US (including two teams from Hawaii) marching into the field.
After opening ceremonies was the skills competition for the players. Drew was doing the home run derby, while the rest of the team either was taking part in "around the horn," golden glove throwing event, and base running. Drew hit well, but they do not allow the boys to use their own bats, and the one Drew was given to use was too small for him, it ended up hurt his hands when he hit. :( Most if the boys we saw weren't hitting well, so overall Drew did fine.
Our team players who were taking part in "around the horn" event ended up with the best time on one of the fields, but were booted out by the teams playing the same event on another field. Doug, Bryn and I decided to head out for dinner, and said our goodbye to Drew for the night before they headed back to the barracks.
Tomorrow is our first game, and we will post an update as soon as we can.
