Bat's got your tongue?

Our seasons have changed. Yes, we may be experiencing a slight relapse in temperatures right now, and yes, the Wild are still in the play-offs. But there's been a definite shift in focus at our house.


The hockey net now serves as back stop for the pitches AJ misses. He (AJ, not the net) seems to have gotten a little rusty since last summer. But that just gives Jeff more practice to perfect his pitching form with wiffle balls.


Watching the boys play this past Sunday, I couldn't help but notice something about AJ's tongue.


He cannot swing the bat without sticking out his tongue.


These are not continuous shots of the same at bat. He does it every single time.


It's kind of like that question "can you sneeze with your eyes open?" For AJ, can you hit the ball with your lips together?


Apparently not.


It's good that his facial muscles get a workout right along with the rest of his body. His expressiveness continues while rounding the bases.
