Okay, Now I'm A Parent

[Adam]

In today's game:

R1 and R2: shot hit up the middle and F6 chases it down, throws to the lawn chairs behind 1B, and the ump does nothing.

Then the 5 year olds had juice, cheese and crackers, and we took ours out for ice cream. A good time was had by all at the t-ball game.

I kept thinking, "they all get ice cream after the game, and that's what matters."

Ha ha,


Lots (well, some) t-balls have a "no base on overthrow" rule.

Funny, but it's quite a circus out there being parent. My son is playing travel ball and I'm amazed at the calls we get week after week.

Today, BR squares, makes a huge attempt at the ball that is way over his head.
Umpire calls it a ball. Coach asks, and he says, "the ball was out of the strike zone."

thanks

So did you yell at him and tell him to go back to T-ball... oh, wait...

When my kids played T-ball, we had no umpire and didn't keep score.
That gave me more time to stare at the Mom's. Of course I picked the players with the hottest Mom's.

My mother-in-law signed up my 4-year-old for a tumbling class at the local YMCA. I hesitantly took him the first week since the wife had to work; I volunteered to take him all the other weeks, simply because of the other moms.

Mark Padgett (basketball forum) would be so proud of this post!

Thats the only advantage of working the young kids, games occasionally. Hot Mom's.

This thread is finally talking about the very important stuff, the moms. :-)
