As part of the Astros Baseball Buddy Club, the boys had an opportunity to go to Minute Maid park and work with The Urban Youth Baseball League on of course, baseball skills.
They were both pretty excited about it, especially Hollister.
They didn't even mind waking up at 5:00am on a Saturday to get there in time!
Signing in
Waiting in the stands
ASTRO LEGEND
JOSE CRUZ!!!!!!
He would be part of the clinic!!!!
The boys were very excited about that!
The kids were broke into various age groups and rotated around the field.
Parents had to stay in the stands, in one area.
So, this was my vantage point for most of the day.
When they hit though, I moved closer and tried getting some better shots.
Hamilton got to spend a lot of time with Jose Cruz because his grandson was in the same age group.
I do wonder what on Earth he is saying to Jose Cruz!!!
They took a picture with all the kids at the end.
Again, far away from the parents.
Afterward though, Jose Cruz signed autographs!!!!
The boys were super excited!!!
They will appreciate this more later in life, but they know he's a big deal!
And not to be outdone by one Astro Legend, they had to get photos with some other favorites.
Hollister really wants to meet Craig Biggio one day.
This cut out with do for now.
And no surprises that Hamilton is all about the mascot, Orbit!!!
This is what happens when you wake up at 5am and practice baseball for two hours.
You sleep on the way back home!
He didn't even make it out of Houston.
The day continued with more baseball of course.
Hollister had another all star practice tournament in South Austin.
He played in 2 of the 4 games.
New All Star jerseys too!
His new all star number!
He played first base a lot. Got on base a few times, scored a run and even got to pitch on Sunday.
Official All Star tournaments start this Friday!
