Marietta little league

Introducing Braeden Swilley of East Cobb.  Braeden has been named the 2012 Little League Good Sport of the Year and was recognized for his “spirited and dedicated commitment to the ideals and goals of the Little League program.” Braeden will receive an award at the 2012 LLBB World Series this summer and I had the high honor of photographing him for the National Little League Association.  One of these pictures will hang in their national museum. He and his family will attend the 2012 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. in August as guests of Little League.  I am so proud of him.  There are so many ball players in this world – if our children can be good sports…good people – what else could we want?  This is the nicest young man and I am so happy for him!  Also, his parents say that his great coach was a big part of this.  Here’s to all you little league coaches out there that give your time and are good, fair and make such a positive impact on our young boys.

“For his exhibition of the core values of Little League, Braeden has been selected as the recipient of the 2012 Little League Good Sport of the Year. Braeden, along with his family, will be recognized at a breakfast and during an on-field ceremony at the 2012 Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, Pa.  The 66th World Series will be played Aug. 16-26.”

Smyrna Little League’s Closing Day of baseball is tomorrow.  You can find me early at the Mechanical Bull.  🙂  It has been a really fun season and this is a little preview of the Baseball Themed Session I donated for one of the families that benefited the Benchwarmers BBQ that will ultimately provide new bleacher covers at the fields.  I am all for keeping the freckles off my face!
