Have you watched the movie Everyone's Hero? In the movie Babe Ruth named his bat Darlin'. Well Darlin' was a great bat and would go down in history. Was she going down in history because of great things she did? If you watch the movie - Babe Ruth says it's the person behind the bat that made her so special. Well, why am I telling you about Darlin'? Robert has such a bat, he loves this bat, he has not named it but it is special. Trust me, this bat better be special due to how much it cost! From the time we got this bat for Robert something happened - Kaboom!! The ball flew like it was shot out of a canon. This has become "The Bat." Well this week we have been dealing with a very painful loss for Robert.
This is the beloved bat. A genuine Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst Big Barrel.
No really look closer...
Can you say crack!! We had tears over the loss of this bat, come on, to an eleven year old this is huge!! Especially when we can't replace it - did I mention - very expensive bat!! So we have been reminding Robert daily that it's not the bat but it's the person swinging the bat! We have two club games Sunday afternoon so I'll keep you posted on the very wonderful person swinging "a bat."
