Travs 2008 Season Has Started

Well the Travs 2008 season has begun.  As you can imagine Hayden is thrilled.  This is his 6th season as a season ticket holder.  When we first started taking him, he was 20 months old.  Now he is 4 months from 7!  He is still so into the ballgames and "his" ballplayers.  We were unable to go to the home opener becasue Hayden had baseball practice himself but we did go to the Exhibition game on Tuesday night.  (Had to leave early because it was a school night.  Let me tell you that does not make our little guy happy.  "The Travs need him there cheering for them". 

Hayden waiting on "his" ballplayers.  (Notice the open gate?  Who do you think opened it?  See the other little kid in the background?  Not a chance of getting to the ballplayers first.  :-) )

Hayden and Ryan

Now let's take a little trip down memory lane with Hayden and the ballplayers with whom he has attached himself.  As he will explain to you they are his heros, friends and brothers.  (Keep in mind that we did not have a digital camera when we first started going to see the guys play so many of the earliest ones will not be here until Mommie can make time to scan the photos on here.  You will still get a great idea of how much this kid has grown)

Hayden and Junior Zamora.  Junior played with the Travs the first couple of seasons when we started going.  Hayden thought he was great so when he started playing for the Hooks, we had to go get photos too.  This photo was on Junior's birthday at a game at Ray Winder.

Hayden and Brent playing catch at a Kid's Day Clinic at Ray Winder.  Goodness look how small our little fella is!

Hayden telling Brandon all about it.  (Yes, the kid likes to talk!)

Waiting on ballplayers before a game at Ray Winder in 2006!

Hayden and Tim.  Tim was Hayden's first ever pitcher hero.  We even had to get Hayden red "Bittner" shoes to play baseball that year.

 Enjoying Easter Sunday at the park.

Hayden and Uncle Mike cheering for the Travs as they come on the field.

Hayden and Dallas at Hayden's very first major league game.  How excited was my kid?  Heros and major league baseball all in one place.....

Hayden and Tommy at the very same major league game.  Oh what a day....

Hayden and Bobby at last game at Ray Winder Field.

Hayden and Miguel. 

Hayden and Greg

Hayden and Bobby.  They were both freezing.  It was so cold at the home opener at the new stadium in 2007.

Well more to come later, the sleeping bear has gotten up and being on the computer on a Saturday "when you could be playing with your kid" is just not acceptable!
