I'm on bases. The usual gaggle of coaches and players are standing at our sides as my partner begins his plate conference.

"Okay, the first thing we need to do today is identify who our captains are (two kids raise their hands). Captains, before the game starts I have a special job for you. I want you to make sure that everybody on your team has their shirts tucked in."

Huh!?

"Now I know you girls like to cheer for your team, but this is your one warning. I better not hear any negative cheers today. We want good sportsmanship from everbody and I'd hate to have to eject somebody for negative cheering."

No, that's never fun.
Seems to me this would be the appropriate time for that stomach virus from which you have been suffering all week kick back in and you would have to excuse yourself from that game.
