It’s almost time for Miracle League baseball again, which means it was time to pick up Namine’s new jersey, hat, and bat. They’ve been on several different teams, and this season they get to add a new one to the list: this time around they’re on the Phillies.
We saw a lot of familiar faces when we were in line to get Namine’s jersey. A lot of people said hi to them, including Bill, the founder and director. We headed over to where they were taking pictures for each player’s announcements during the games. After that, we played a little one-on-one in the baseball field before heading home.
A while back, when I received an email about baseball sign up, I asked Namine if they wanted to play baseball again this season. They said no. A little later that day, Jessica told me that she’d already signed them up. So, we told Namine that what was done, was done. They accepted it, although how willingly I couldn’t say.
However, as we approached the date for jersey pickup, Namine told me that they were thankful they were still signed up. They were looking forward to seeing their friends and coaches again — and based on today’s events, the feelings were mutual.
We’re all looking forward to a wonderful new season of Miracle League baseball.
