Little League Baseball
Published Apr 20, 2011
At one point during a Little League baseball game, the coach said to one of his young players,
"Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?"
The little boy nodded 'yes'."
"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called or you're out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all of that?"
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good!" said the coach.
"Now go over there and expalin it to your mother."
