Champions.

 Drew's little league team, Cesare Battisti, won the championship game this week.  They had a fantastic season, and Drew had a ball.  After finishing in last place last summer, being on a winning team this year was so fun for us all.  He will likely be moving on the the major leagues next summer, and this was a fabulous way to bid farewell to the minors.

 Playing centerfield:

 The trophies.

Waiting to get their trophies.

 As the oldest on the team, he was the last to get his trophy.

You can't really see him in this picture, as he's in front of number 17.  This is the whole team holding the championship trophy.

He's the goof with his hat on backward in the second row.

On the far right, second row.  Posed for the newspaper.

Holding his trophy and a cookie with his number.

I don't know which video is first, this new blogger format is tricky.  One video is of the team celebrating and piling up on one another on first base.  Drew is in the thick of it!  The other video is of him receiving his trophy.  Yes he held it up like it was the Stanley Cup, and he absolutely kissed it.  This kid is a hoot.
