When my daughter wanted to find out the gender of her first child I was hoping she was having a girl.\u00a0 Then she called me.\u00a0 She was having a boy.\u00a0 At that time I was working in a middle school classroom with eighth-grade boys.\u00a0 If you have ever been surrounded by middle school boys you probably can understand why I was just a bit scared!\u00a0 I had myself convinced the baby would be born a teenage boy!\u00a0 Happily, I can say my grandson was born a beautiful healthy baby boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few years and he was signing up for tee-ball.\u00a0 Baseball has always been a part of my life from the time I was watching my older brother play.\u00a0 Now I was going to watch my grandson play on the exact same field. My brother, who went on to sign with a minor team, would have enjoyed seeing his great-nephew play.\u00a0 Unfortunately, he had passed away before my grandson was born.\u00a0 The memories though were very present.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Little League to Champions<\/h2>\n

After tee-ball there was little league and the friendships formed were becoming stronger on and off the field.\u00a0 Sometimes the friends were on the same team and sometimes they played against each other.\u00a0 Win or lose the boys still remained friends.\u00a0 They cheered for each other and offered a pat on the back when things didn\u2019t go well.\u00a0 They knew the true meaning of being a teammate.\u00a0 As they grew older their game improved.\u00a0 These boys went on to win the state championship.\u00a0 After little league, they stayed together as a travel team until high school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is something to be said about playing a sport with the kids in your neighborhood or who you go to school with.\u00a0 Tryouts for the high school team came and these same boys were now on the freshman team.\u00a0 They all came with good work ethics and were excited to finally be playing for their high school which was a future dream when they were just little leaguers playing in the dirt.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first three years of high school baseball had its share of ups and downs.\u00a0 But they stuck together cheering each other on.\u00a0 Their tempers were a little more evident but their laughs and smiles were even bigger.\u00a0 Senior year finally arrived.\u00a0 The class of 2020.\u00a0 The varsity team was ready.\u00a0 Then suddenly everything came to a halt.\u00a0 Covid 19 was here and their season was canceled.\u00a0 Everything they worked so hard for was no longer going to happen.\u00a0 Thank goodness they had each other to lean on.\u00a0 The friendships they formed years ago gave them the strength to get through the disappointments.\u00a0 The teammates were there for each other.\u00a0 We were all disappointed.\u00a0 The parents were heartbroken.\u00a0 As grandparents, we have watched our grandson and his friends play their hearts out on the field.\u00a0 We were also disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graduation Gifts for the Baseball Team<\/h2>\n

Thankfully, these recently graduated men were given one more chance to take the field again when their coach from the little league days and state champion travel team brought them all together for one last time.\u00a0 It\u2019s a short season but it\u2019s a great way to finish!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Team<\/a>
Personalized Team Bracelets Handmade with Baseball Infield Dirt<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I look at these young men and it\u2019s like I have a team of grandsons.\u00a0 Some from the early days have gone on and played another sport.\u00a0 But this particular group have stayed together.\u00a0 Last summer I knew I wanted to do something special for them so I started collecting dirt from the infields of the baseball fields that they played on from the tee-ball days to the high school days.\u00a0 All their home fields in between and all in their home town.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t quite sure what to do with it but one day I was looking on Dune Jewelry\u2019s website and had an idea.\u00a0 I sent a message asking if there was a way to incorporate the dirt into a man\u2019s bracelet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer was yes!\u00a0 I knew this would be the perfect gift.\u00a0 I just didn\u2019t know how perfect Dune Jewelry would make it.\u00a0 The bracelets are awesome!! They engraved the back with the words of their coach and the lava beads are stunning.\u00a0 The best part though is each one contains the infield dirt with many memories.\u00a0<\/strong> The entire team all thought their gift was so cool.\u00a0 They are all going on to further their education and won\u2019t be together physically as often, but they will always be lifelong teammates.\u00a0 They will carry their memories in their hearts and on their wrists.\u00a0 Thank you to the creative people at Dune Jewelry for creating this memorable gift. – Shelley T.<\/span><\/p>\n
