In My Baseball Mom Era

If there’s one thing our team does well, it’s baseball siblings! We 100% leveled UP this season. Our team has almost as many siblings as we do players and a couple of our moms have gotten really creative!

1. First Things First, SNACKS!

Nobody has the time or money to go to the concession stand 12 times during a game, so come prepared with the Snackle box! A little something for everyone especially if a couple moms bring them. Hand them over at the beginning of the game and they are good to go!

Pro Tip – See all of our snack recommendation’s here.

2. A Place to Play

This is where we are really winning this season. Nothing is more exhausting or stressful than constantly calling for those feral babies and/or asking who’s seen little Johnny last. Give them a place to congregate where the snacks live, where they can get shade, and maybe even a little comfort. This season we invested in a pop up tent and one of our moms even got them blow up couches and a cot… Seems like a lot , I know, but it’s so worth it when you’re at the field for 8+ hours, and you can use it season to season. Look at it as an investment.

• Pop-up Tent
• Inflatable couch
• Cot with Mattress
• Air Pump

3. Entertainment

Self explanatory – give them something to do. Most of our girls bring their own toys and they play really well without driving us crazy, but the boys… whew the boys! Have them bring their bikes or scooters and a keep a bag of ballpark entertainment packed. Things like:

• Ball on a string (our boys faves)
• Chalk
• Bubbles
• Slime (the ballpark is the one place I allow it!)
• Football
• Zip String (this is a HUGE hit at the ballfield – maybe buy 2!)
• Mini Speaker with Microphones (the girls FAVE)
  

4. Ballpark Babies

We’ve all been there and had a baby that’s too small to go off on their own, it’s hot and sunny and no one wants to hold a baby all day! Here are things I found helpful when my now 6 year old was a tiny babe:

• Pack n Play
• Activity mat
• Baby playpen with canopy
• Baby carrier
• Jumper

5. Bring All the Necessities

It never fails – the ball park siblings are going to play hard, and inevitably get dirty. Keep a change of clothes and shoes in your trunk for those extra dirty days. Don’t forget extra hair ties and baby wipes!

Full list of ballpark essentials

Let those feral baseball siblings be feral. I was once one of those feral Baseball siblings, and I promise you mama, these are days they will never forget!

I hope this saves you some time and keeps you from missing a minute of the action!
