HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- Tech. Sgt. John Talbot, 49th Maintenance Squadron, throws a ball for his son, Steven, 4, to catch at the Youth and Teen Center at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., May 8. They are participating in the Start Smart baseball program, which teaches children ages 3 to 5 the fundamentals of baseball before they join an official baseball team. The classes last one hour and are held twice a week for three weeks. All children are accompanied by their parents, who work with them at different stations such as throwing, catching and hitting the ball. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman Sondra M. Wieseler)
