The Columbus Clippers had an event for season ticket holders last evening and I took Henry to it. It was nice, we got to tour both locker rooms, go out on the field and run the bases and even hit some balls in the indoor batting cage. I did all right but it was cold and wooden bats sting. Henry did great of course, I don't think the older guy who was pitching was prepared for him to belt them back at him like Henry did. I told him halfway through after some misses..."this might sound funny but throw them a little harder to him" and he replied "why? so he can hit me?". I think he should have been behind the net throwing to Hammerin' Hank. 
I'm really not sure why the Clippers have two mascots.
The helmet Henry wore made it tough for him to see because it was too big and would slide down everytime he swung the bat.
In the lockerroom.
On another note, we had a bit of a scare with Henry. He failed his hearing test before starting kindergarten and again last week so I took him to a specialist on Tuesday. He did fine and has normal hearing which made everyone feel good.
