Friday's practice was light as Coach spent most of his time with Oscar and a couple of the pitchers. Most of us were sent to the batting cage to take turns getting work in. Noah and I were the exception though. Noah convinced Mr. Miller that we had to practice turning double plays, so we spent almost an hour taking turns diving in the dirt while the other covered second base.
After getting home from practice, Grampa greeted me by handing me a banana. "Mary says I have to make sure you're eating a fruit or veggie at all times. Watching TV? Have some carrots. Doing homework? Eat some apple slices." He laughed at my look of defeat. "Don't worry, kid. We'll fatten you up in no time. Tonight, we'll have my homemade pasta. I've already started."
