Cool

They . . . and probably a lot of us as well . . . need to watch and enjoy some Special Olympics competitions to see what sportsmanship, and athletics, is REALLY all about. I know it's not the case all the time, but I accept contracts to officiate some of the Christian schools' games for some of the same reasons. You MIGHT get an occasional outburst, but certainly no rough and tumble "I'll show you" type of conduct. In many cases, they even begin the game with both teams lining up along the 1st and 3rd baselines and say a prayer together . . . and include the safety of the umpires in their petitions. I like to think there are still places on this earth where baseball is just a game.
Peace,
Jerry
