O's July Vocabulary

His new favorite word: "bay ball" for baseball, of course. When we're driving on I-77, he goes nuts in the car saying "bay ball" over and over again while pointing to the giant baseball that hovers over Knights Stadium. So smart. The other day he saw the top of the white water tower in Fort Mill and pointed and said "bay ball." Other large round objects are simply "bah" for ball, such as the large round orbs that adorn the outside of Target.
