It's the annual Kid's Baseball Training Day
at the Naturals' Arvest Ballpark in Springdale
From start to finish, it was awesomely organized!
DJ may have been a little star-struck at first,
but he got more comfortable,
and learned cool stuff & neat tricks
all of the Naturals were super patient
-a great group of leaders!
#22 Buddy Baumann (second from left) was a favorite
with the kids- funny & personable!
(learning the finer details of the 'squash the bug' batting stance)
running like a true professional outfielder!
getting ready to race!
The Naturals' starting 2nd Baseman,
#1 Rey Navarro
Davis' first appearance at home plate
at a professional ballpark!
the kid's day was sponsored by Farm Rich
It's the Yummiest chicken ever! *
*wishing that his endorsement will pay-off with some Naturals' swag:
like this $120 game-worn jersey:
we stayed-over for the game against the Travelers,
and Davis recognized a lot of the players
from the training & autograph session
(ask to see his glove some time!)
The Naturals won the ballgame, too!
the entire day was almost overloaded with excitement
(and Cheetos)
Grounds Crew Royalty:
Ruby & her owner!
Including all of the Major League fields,
Arvest Ballpark is generally recognized as being the best-maintained
and most meticulously-conditioned field in all of baseball!
Love You Ruby!
Baseball is Awesome !!!
