BONES Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 At one point during a game, the coach called 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 @ss hole' is it?" Again the little boy nodded. "Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
