When Owen started at Duke Ellington, he kind of had to give up baseball – Duke didn't have a team, and Owen's class schedule didn't exactly support joining a travel one. At the same time, the Nationals were in a bit of a rebuilding period, and so there wasn't a whole lot of interesting baseball to watch.
But with school ending, James Woods joining the Nationals and the prospect of college intramural baseball in the offing, Owen's gotten back into baseball which has meant watching lots of highlights, quoting stats to his father, and even meeting up with his daycare best friend Leo for a game.
Owen was supposed to see Leo at Leo's Eagle Scout Ceremony, but I messed up the time and location resulting in our briefly hanging out by ourselves in his yard playing stickball before leaving his card in the mailbox and heading home. We tried to meet up after, but Owen had prom and left for the beach while Leo had graduation and immediately left to be counselor at Boy Scouts Camp.
But the stars eventually did align and Owen and Leo were able to spend Leo's 18th birthday watching the Nats beat the Met's in what's being referred to as the best game of the season, which is only right since they spent Owen's 6th birthday watching the the same thing.
