Alright, let me tell ya about this 12U National Baseball Team. Sounds fancy, right? Probably a bunch of kids runnin’ around, hittin’ balls and whatnot.
So, they got this team, the 12U National Baseball Team. What’s the “U” for, you ask? Well, it means “under,” see? So, these kids, they ain’t older than 12. Can be younger, sure, but not a day over 12. Imagine that, a whole team of ’em, all under 12. My grandson, he’s about that age, always swingin’ sticks in the yard, pretendin’ it’s a bat. Probably not as good as these kids, though, they gotta be somethin’ special to be on a national team, right?
- They find these kids, they got this thing called the National Team Identification Series. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? And National Team Championships, too. In Arizona and North Carolina, no less. Fancy places, them. My sister went to Arizona once, said it was hotter than a fryin’ pan. Probably tough for them kids playin’ ball in that heat.
Heard they had a camp, too, a training camp for the 12U team. Kids gotta fight for a spot, they say. Like gladiators or somethin’, only with baseball bats. Probably gotta run a lot, swing bats, catch balls. Reminds me of when my kids were little, always runnin’ around, never sittin’ still. These kids, they’re probably the same, full of energy.
This team, they go places. Heard they went to Tainan once. Where’s that, you ask? Don’t ask me, sounds foreign. Some kind of World Baseball Softball Confederation U-12 Baseball World Cup. Big words, huh? Just means they play ball with kids from all over, I guess. Probably get to see all sorts of things, meet all sorts of people. Good for ’em, learnin’ about the world.
They announced the roster, they say. That means they picked the kids, right? The best of the bunch. Probably made their mamas proud. Mamas always like it when their kids do good. My mama sure did. She’d bake me a pie whenever I did somethin’ right. These kids, they probably get somethin’ special too. Maybe a new bat, or a fancy glove. Who knows.
So, there you have it, the 12U National Baseball Team. A bunch of kids, under 12, playin’ ball. Sounds like fun. Wish I was young enough to join, runnin’ around, hittin’ balls, bein’ part of a team. But then again, my knees ain’t what they used to be. I’ll stick to watchin’ my grandson swing that stick in the yard. That’s enough excitement for me.
