• John Ray wanted to know who the black team was...the umpires. 
• In one game, the pitcher purposefully walked Joe Mauer.  When we explained that it was because he was a good hitter and they didn't want him to hit the ball, they were shocked.  "That is CHEATING.  Isn't that cheating Teacher Tammy? They cannot do that!!" 
• Adelyn told me she was "praying the Twins will have strength"
• Mauer was the only Twins name they knew so whenever a new batter would come up they would cheer, "Go Mauer!"
• After a pop-up near first base, the runner was not running very fast.  Someone asked, "Why are they running so slow?"  Very confidently, Leheca answered, "Because they are old!"  Another child chimed in seriously, "And they have arthritis."
• Stealing bases was another totally new concept for the kids.  They had no idea one could do that.  After seeing a runner steal second, Kyle asked me quite a few questions about it.  "Is that okay?  You can really do that?!"  That afternoon in a game at the shelter, he put his new knowledge into play by stealing second base! 

Those are just a few of the comments the kids made.  It was great seeing them gain a much better understanding of the game and really enjoying it too!  They are already looking forward to the next year and hoping they will get to watch some more games!
