A must read for
Grandparents.
Those who aren't will love it, too.
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?'
The little boy
nodded again.
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 ass' is it?'
Again, the little
boy nodded.
'Good,' said the
coach.
'Now go over there
and explain
all that to your
grandmother!
