Cole pointed out that last week was baseball week for us (from Monday to Sunday):

• Monday, A’s / Giants game.  We went early and raised money for Cole’s Little League team, walking through the mass of tail gate parties.  Then we watched the A’s beat the Giants.
• Tuesday, Cole went back to the Coliseum for another A’s victory over the Giants.
• Wednesday, we went with one of Cole’s team mates to a batting cage in Richmond.
• Thursday, baseball practice.
• Friday, Cole and I went to the Oakland Coliseum to take Batting Practice on the field.  That was a lot of fun.  We played catch, hit balls, and played outfield / infield to shag balls off of other hitters.
• Saturday, Cole’s team had a playoff game — his team won.  Highlights for us were Cole’s monster RBI triple.
• Sunday, I base-umpired a playoff game.  Cole and I might make up a 2-man umpire team next year — he’ll be old enough then to be an umpire.

Tonight we have another playoff game.  Go Lookouts!

Here are a couple of more pictures from Friday at the Coliseum:
