I've tried to avoid using my blogging as a venue for spewing negativity, but tonight's baseball game was another example of why competitively-minded adults should keep physically active with competitive outlets of their OWN. Read: NOT USING THEIR CHILDREN FOR SATIATING THEIR COMPETITIVENESS.
In the past two weeks, I've personally observed the following-
A 12 & under baseball team picked up players from another team and inserted them in their line-up to humiliate an opponent they classify as a rival...
In that same game, said team was up 12 - 0 in their last at bat and the coaches gave the steal sign. I guess they wanted to reach the teens. Maybe someone had a bet to fulfill...
A 10 & under team, losing to their "arch rival," tried to sneak a better hitter to the plate out of order...
In that same 10 & under game, an otherwise well respected dad publicly melted down on his son for making two errors in the same inning. It was very loud and very embarrassing. The boy is 10-years old...
Parents.... COACHES... Get a hold of yourselves! You're an embarrassment to your kids and not doing them any favors.
