stevenpiziks | Maksim and Baseball

Maksim and I were playing catch one day and a baseball smacked him in the face. Today he refused to go to baseball practice because he was scared of getting hit. He was in tears over it. We finally persuaded him to go by saying Kala would talk to the coach and find out what they could do to make sure he would stay safe. Mackie was highly dubious about the whole thing but finally went. At practice, the coach had him use a tennis ball, which made Mackie feel safer. He went through the rest of practice just fine.

His first game is next week on Wednesday.
