I’ll be honest – Thursday was a tough day. Not only did Joshua have his dose of chemo on Wednesday, but Thursday was the first day of baseball practice. And we found ourselves moving into a new world of sports.

Our neighborhood league evidently has a long and illustrious history of many championships of something or other. To that end, people around here take their baseball pretty seriously. We showed up to practice on the 4- 5- and the 6-year-old team finding out that they practice 3 times a week for an hour and a half each time until games start.

This isn’t the only baseball that people take seriously, major league baseball is something that practically everyone gets into during the season, I do know a few people who like to place some bets here and there to make it more interesting. They search for a while to find the right online casinos for sports bettors, so they know where they can go! It’s their thing, so I can definitely see why baseball is in so many people’s hearts and minds. It is not only baseball but also major sports like soccer and football that has been garnering the attention of online bettors in the sports betting domain. Sports betting enthusiasts often tend to ask the experts for AFL tips (or any sports of their choice) using online sports betting portals and understand their betting prospects and improve on them. With the increase in interest in the sphere of sports betting, online football betting tips are often taken seriously by people who opt to earn through this option. People tend to look more at sports gambling as they tend to earn real rewards along with the thrill of enjoying their favorite sports. In order to attract new players, bookies now provide a variety of offers. However, not many are interested in losing a lot of cash in the process of placing bets. As a result, many of them choose riskfree betting, which allows first-time players to place bets without fear of losing money.

Wow.

Anyway, what was I saying… oh yes! Joshua, bless his heart, had kind of a rough time. Not only is a little inexperienced in the baseball realm, but it was also hot and he had medicine pumping through him. So he struggled some – tried hard, but struggled. And we struggled to watch him struggle.

On the good side, though, it forced us to evaluate exactly what we’re hoping to accomplish in that field. I’m under no illusion that Joshua is going to pitch for the Braves someday. I’d sure take it if that’s the case, but I’m not betting my retirement on it. So in the end, I think the experience freed us to try and help Joshua understand the most important rule of baseball:

“Have fun.”
