Opening day of AAA Little League. Baby Lange #1 is now 9 1/2 and has a triple header. Little League opening day ceremonies. First game right after then. Then straight down to Coor's Field in Denver for the Rockies. HAVE to be there when the doors open. Jackson will race out to center field to catch (and beg) for balls during batting practice. Sometime around 10 or 11 tonight we will pull up in front of the house. Exhausted...baseballed out...but having had a great day together. The day started with a morning walk. Jackson was in his new uniform. He held my hand the whole way. It can't get any better than this. These are the days my friends....these are the days. Today I also take my first dive into a dream assignment for Dick's Sporting Goods to shoot the emotional side of sports. More. Much more on that later.
You captured the spirit and nostalgia of Opening Day so perfectly through your lens. Took a quick break from playing baseball bros game to read this, and it made me appreciate the heart of the game even more.
This was a lovely reflection on sports, family, and childhood memories. The emotional side of the day makes the story especially memorable.
A busy day, but clearly a very meaningful one. The excitement around opening day and sharing the experience as a family comes through strongly.
I really enjoyed the personal details in this post. Moments like walking together in a new uniform are often the memories that matter most.
This sounds like a packed but unforgettable baseball day. The mix of Little League, family time, and a Rockies game makes the whole story feel warm and genuine.
