Re: Re: Little League is about winning

Ok, up to number two your right. But besides that, you don't what your talking about. Since when do you want kids disrespecting authority figures, cheating on tests, and just playing to win and not having fun? If you haven't noticed, all the "big cheaters" in the "large corporations" have been arrested. The point of playing baseball is to have fun. Yes, it's great when you win, but the best part is getting out there and playing the game. -John
Well actually I think there's lots of merit in what Peter writes.

I especially find #5 to be very true in all summer ball.

Why else is the umpire always to blame for a close loss, but you never see the umpire mentioned when they win.

Just reading this board and see ing all of the comments about coaches (which most are from summer leagues) is enough to give merit to that statement.

If a coach has respect for the umpires, then his players do. When the coach has none, then the players will follow suit.

Thanks
David
