These Are The Rules

For those of you who haven't had the chance to play baseball with Ethan, let me share the rules with you.

1.  The pitcher must mimic a professional, complete with leg lift, when throwing the ball.

2.  The batter must wear a helmet.

 

  

3. If at all possible, a catcher and or umpire should squat behind the batter.  Before the pitcher may pitch, the catcher must pull his imaginary face mask over his face.  Notice the last picture...Ethan is demonstrating how he plays baseball with only his stuffed animals as players.  Mr. Dinosaur is the ump, and the dog is the dog catcher.

 

4.  When the batter hits the ball, he is required to run randomly.  One of the other players must catch the ball and tag the batter.  Helmets and hats must be exchanged, so the players can switch positions.

I nearly died laughing when I saw how well Ethan's little "friends" played by his rules.

 

The pitcher has the glove on and is ready to throw.

 

The batter has on the helmet and is ready to hit.

He swings, he runs, he scores!  Time to switch positions.

The pitcher is ready.

 

Helmet on, the batter is ready.

  The pitch is thrown.

The batter strikes out!
