Andrew's favorite sport is baseball, and when he returns to Medford he will step right into Minors baseball season. Helping him get ready to play well is tough in Hoonah. There are no fields or parks that aren’t under four feet of snow, no poles to attach his Derek Jeter "Hit-a-Way" to, and I don’t care how dedicated you are…playing catch in 32 degree, snowy weather is hard on the fingers.
The one day this week that we did have some fair weather, we headed to our “beach” with the baseball gloves and ball in tow.
It was uncomfortably windy and cold. Steve and Andrew played as long as they could, but after the ball rolled in the water a few times and their hands started to turn blue, we packed up and went home to take the seventh inning stretch in our warm living room.
