Catcher

This is Luke's new baseball bag. When Brian brought it home, I said "that is huge, I bet Luke could fit in it." So, we tried it out and he could.

Criddle had to check the bag out, to make sure it would be up to Luke's standards.

We bought Luke new catchers gear, for this year. I worry about injuries to the chest area, so I believe that he needs the best protection possible for safety reasons. Thus the bigger bat bag. I felt bad one day when Luke came to me and said "Mom, it hurts sometimes when I have to block a pitch." Just think of being beamed in the chest or the rib cage with a baseball being thrown at 60mph or more. Why didn't I think of that, duh!! I am in the stands yelling "way to block that pitch, Luker" After being hit in the chest with an air bag, I think I know the pain he might be feeling.

“A good catcher is the quarterback, the carburetor, the lead dog, the pulse taker, the traffic cop and sometimes a lot of unprintable things, but no team gets very far without one.”
