A must read for Grandparents.
Those who aren't will love it, too.
------------------------- ------------------------- ------------
At one point during a game, the coach called Will,
one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, "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 or lose together as a team?"
------------------------- ------------------------- ------------
The little boy nodded yes.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when
an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack
the umpire, or call him a pecker-head.
Do you understand all that?"
------------------------- ------------------------- -------------
Again the little boy nodded.
------------------------- ------------------------- --------------
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game
so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good
sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb asshole' is it?"
------------------------- ------------------------- --------------
Again the little boy nodded.
------------------------- ------------------------- --------------
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and
explain all that to your grandmother."
