Loving the Pics of your tour of Scotland. I would love to see that whole area someday as I am of Irish, Scottish and English descent, My dad is of the McCabes, I'll have to ask if he knows about where they were from, He and his brothers took part in updating an ancestry book about that branch of the family a few years ago.
That is too bad your grandson lost his playoff but great that he held his own among the older kids. My nephew (he is on an 8U team) had a few baseball tournaments over the summer and he did really well, they won 3 out of 4 of them and the 4th one they lost to the only team to beat them throughout all the tournaments. He also won the Home Run Derby at the skills competition that was at one of them. It was really fun to watch them.
Looking forward to more of the Scotland trip.
My grandson had a playoff game and they lost. He said none of the older players wanted the ball so Jay started as the pitcher. He was 17 and still in high school. The teams were supposed to by 19 and under but the opposing team had a few ringers on it. Jay gave up 2 unearned runs over 4 innings and had the other team held to just a few singles. The men he was facing were Jrs. and Sr.s in college so I was really proud of him. I sent jay a text too letting him know what I thought. A few weeks later when I signed him up for Fall baseball his coach couldn't stop telling me how great he did. I went to bed a little sad that his team lost but immensely proud of how he handled himself.
