Some people may not agree that spending 5 plus hours at the baseball field in one day is a fun day.  Well I do.  Let me just give you a little re-cap of the sports events of the day.  This day was all about Mason.  He has been playing in a tournament over the UEA weekend. He played 2 games on Thursday and 1 on Friday.  Having won all three of those games meant he played on Saturday morning at 9:30 am in South Jordan (at 11000 S. and Redwood Rd.).  Even though Mason woke up not feeling so well with a sore throat, headache and cough he was determined that he still wanted to play.  So we started our perfect day by leaving at 8:30 so we could be to the park ready to warm-up by 9:00.   Mason played the first hour and 15 minutes and then we had to rush off so we could get to football by 11:00(which is on 78oo S. and 5500 W) to warm up and play a 12:00 game which lasted an hour and a half (and we lost 20 to 14 to Bingham) and then rush back to the South Jordan game where we would be late to the 1:30 game.  This craziness also involved changing out of his baseball uniform into his football uniform and then again back into the baseball uniform.  The 1:30 game was the championship having no time limit and playing 7 full innings, that is unless you end the 7th inning with a tie and have to go on to an 8th inning tie breaker inning. We did win the game 14-13!!!!!  When it was all said and done the game lasted 3 hours and 15 minutes. Mason played awesome.  In a game on Friday he hit a home run a triple and a single all in one game.  Today he made a great catch in center field.  And threw a kid out from center field going to 3rd base. The weather was awesome the games were awesome.  There's no better way to end the fall baseball season than the way we did today.  Lets just do the math on how much time mason spent playing sports today  1hr 45 min. + 1 hr 30 min. + 3 hr 15 min. +1 hr. 30 min. warm-up time=8 hours!!!!  Way to go Mason.  I love to watch you play!!!
