Meet Caleb ~ uncanny ability to get the crowd going!


Challenger Baseball has been soooo amazing for my Caleb and our family!! 

Our family of 6 LOVES baseball!!  Our oldest plays baseball. Our #3 plays baseball and now our #2 (Caleb) plays baseball!!  We LOVE the GIANTS and watch almost all of the games.  Pablo is Caleb’s “friend” and we always cheer and fist bump when he is up to bat!  3 years ago, we were able to get Caleb on his first ever sports team. The Giants. He was thrilled beyond belief!  HE finally got to play his own sport just like his brothers. For once, he didn’t have to be the one sitting in the stands cheering for his brothers. He was the one being cheered for, and he LOVED every. Single. Minute! J  Caleb is the star of the show!  Every at bat, he waves to the crowd, lifts his hands waiting for applause and does his thing.  Each game is different, based on the previous nights Giants game batting favorite. He would spit, shake his booty, tap his bat on home plate, or point to the field with his bat. It is hilarious. After he hit the ball off that tee, he would run to first base with the BIGGEST smile you could ever see.  I cried every time. Three years later, he is STILL the
crowd favorite and likes to show off his orange Mohawk!  He finally hit a live pitch and earned his In-n-Out Burger!!  He was so proud!  I was prouder!!! Challenger Baseball has been such a blessing to be a part of!  The love these special friends share, is sweet and genuine. I love every single moment!
