Happy Mother's Day

I know there aren't many woman on this board, but everyone has a mother. Give her a hug, send her an email card, or phone her. It will mean more than you will ever know. Thought this was appropriate for a baseball message board.

 

 

 

 

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, dickhead or *******. Do you

 

understand all that? '

 

The little boy nodded 'yes' again.

 

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so

 

another boy gets a chance to play too, it's not good

 

sportsmanship to call your coach "a dumb ass or

 

********" is it?'

 

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.

 

 

 

 

'GOOD', said the coach . . . 'Now go over there and

 

explain all that to your grandmother!'

Boxy and I can appreciate that story after having to stand between a White Trash Mom and a White Trash Grandmother while working a ball tournament.

 

Happy Mother's Day to our board Mother Leaffie...and most of us probably treat Leaffie like we do our Moms.

Thank you for the mother's day wish!
