the rvc royals at cooperstown dreams park- the end

Ok, so being this was like almost 2 months ago, it’s time to finish posting the last of the pictures. This was their first playoff game of two. I forgot to mention on the last blog post that Anthony STOLE HOME! And of course I have NO pictures of that amazing event because we were playing that team from New Hampshire that was so horrendously behaved and the worst sports ever and I was in a terrible mood so I put the camera away. And then he stole home. It was freaking awesome!! (the NH Cats were the team that was winning 20-4 and still talking sh*t in the field and dugout, and put in a new pitcher- who was in no way 12 years old, not even in an alternate universe and was throwing at like 90 mph- when they were already up 20-4. Asshats.) So onto a better game against a nice team!

Johnny C.
Jamie.Getting some tips from Coach John H. The whole game was back and forth for the full two hours. It was so nerve wracking!!Bobby and his home run! I think he was a little happy!!

Jack.
Kevin.Jamie and HIS home run!He was pretty happy too!Anthony & Jack.Jack.Patrick.
Kevin.Nail biting game. Seriously!And the final score with the first Royals win for the week!I was so exhausted after the first game roller coaster that I kept the camera in the bag for the second game. The boys didn’t even have time to eat between the first and second playoff game, had to change their shirts and socks and get right back to playing. It was a total endurance marathon. They lost the second game to a great California team- and the one shot I took is below.And that was that. So we headed up to the main signs to take some team photos. From left: James, Glenn, Johnny C, Anthony, Kevin, Bobby, Jamie, Johnny H, Mike, Zach, Patrick, Jack C, Jack B, and Michael.Yay! Baseball is over!!The Kliers. And a little wrestling (with Timmy too of course). Thursday night was the closing ceremonies. The dog at the place I stayed (Gateway Inn and Suites). Timmy getting in his last licks on pin trading.The team banner displayed by Thomas and Timmy. The ring ceremony. (Which I honestly could’ve skipped. It wasn’t much of anything.) Oh, and John does not run.Jamie and Timmy.
I left Cooperstown immediately after this- and made it home in a record 3hours, 31 minutes door to door. Ya think I was ready to get the hell out of Cooperstown? Honestly, it was a great trip for the boys and I’m so glad they did it (and I’m glad I got to see them all play). I had a fantastic time with all the parents- they were all a super fun bunch to spend a week with!
