We are sad to say that Smoky took a fast ball to HIS FACE in Monday's regular season closer. I was a few minutes late getting to the game and so (thankfully for the other pitcher) I missed the wicked pitch. When I got there Ben's face was swollen to three times its normal size and an EMT was there checking for broken bones, deciding if we should go to Insta Care or not. Ben actually did amazingly well, and ended up with no broken bones, just bruises and swelling. Today it is looking much better! He woke up with his eye swollen shut but we are just so grateful that he didn't lose any teeth or break his nose. And don't worry, a pinch runner was sent to first base in his place. Unfortunately we didn't hang around to see who won, but hats off to Smoky for being a trooper! When people ask about his bruises we have two answers we give---see which one you like better:
A) He got in a fight with Garrett and Garrett won
B) Our fat cat Tyler sat on his face and squashed it
Hang in there Smoky! We love you and your squashed face!

Talk about a fighter. That is one sweet baseball reminder. I'll bet the ball will be scared of him next time. You're great Ben!
Definitely the fight with Garrett. Then you can please both boys with one comment.
I was thinking a fight with Cassidy sounded good too! Ben you are awesome! Way to get back up to the plate and try again!
