He got to play catcher one came and put on all the cool gear the catcher gets to wear.
I put my camera in the grass for this shot. Pretty good view with Mt. Timpanogos looming in the background.
Here Nicky has his eye on the ball right before getting a good hit. They played "coach pitch" baseball - the coach would pitch it and if they couldn't hit it after about ten pitches they would bring out a tee to hit it off. Nicky usually hit the first or second pitch. Only one time all season did he have to hit it off the tee.
