Sunday afternoon we ventured to the Tulsa suburb of Jenks to their high school baseball field.

The Jenks High School Baseball Team<\/span><\/b><\/a> was having their fifth “Buddy Baseball” day. They invite children with autism to come play some baseball. Each child is paired with two “buddies,” baseball players who spend the time with the kids. This was SuperPizzaBoy’s first time to participate.<\/p>\n

His buddies were Eric and Bryce, both varsity baseball players.<\/p>\n

They went out and warmed up with SPB. Poor kid, he has bad sports genes. I was the worst little league baseball player ever. No lie.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kids got to bat from a tee, field, run the bases, the whole deal.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7276\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Give each other high fives.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7277\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Jenks high school cheerleaders showed up.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7288\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the game there were smiles all around.<\/p>\n

And of course pizza, of course pizza.<\/p>\n

We are now big fans of Jenks High School.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much Eric, Bryce, their fellow teammates and coaches, and cheerleaders. We appreciate you so much.<\/p>\n
