With his older brother, I witnessed how quickly this game becomes competitive and nerve-racking (for instance: Should I let my 10-year-old son pitch to one more batter?). Before all that, I'd like to linger on a the first game, first hit, and first run to first base.

Special thanks to Bzur Haun for the being in the right place at the right time with a quick camera (note how the bat hovers in that first shot).
