Agreed, and it worked perfectly to prove my point.
It's just little kids, playing baseball. We need to step back sometimes, when we start taking things a bit too seriously. That's what we did here. Took a step toward the absurd, funny, dumb if you will. Some guys will dance with rodents, or do the YMCA ( I know the words to that song, and the meaning behind them, so I ain't dancing to that diddy). I chose to have everyone wear different colored shirts for two innings. In the end, we all thought it was pretty damn cool, and so did the kids and parents.
Now if we did it every night, or on some sort of "big" stage, I'd agree with the dumb statement. But it was my house, my rules, and it worked to perfection.
