Aidan met all his teammates before opening ceremonies. All the kids for all four teams were present, the A's (Aidan's team), the Ranger's, the Red's, and the Orioles. Although Aidan doesn't have a classmate from Kindergarten on his team, many of his classmates are on other teams. JJ is on the Orioles as well as Isaac Intner and Keon Moore. Lucy Jane Roberston is on the Reds and Landon Beaty is on the Rangers.

Opening ceremonies had an announcer telling a large crowd of parents and onlookers about each level and each team in that level. Aidan's division, the Shetland division, and team, the A's, were first to be announced as they are the little guys of the league. They all came running through a giant piece of paper and ripped through to cheers from the fans.

After all the teams and league levels had their time in the spotlight it was time to sing the national anthem and salute the flag. 

Now back to the diamond and Aidan got his mit and started 'warming up.'

Looking too cool in his number 7 shirt, Aidan did well with the grounders in warm up. After about 20 minutes of warm up it was time to Play Ball!

Aidan took a swing at the first pitch offered up to him and was able to get a base hit!
