sounds like a little league game being played at a varisty level. Surely they were just trying to show some humor in life...which has obviously been lost around here.

I'm all for humor - I just don't find comparing able bodied kids who play a game poorly to disabled kids humorous. I'm not 12 anymore. I also find it sad when people hide under the guise of humor when displaying poor taste and offending (intentionally or unintentionally) others.

if the winning side's coach is a gentleman, you can usually get them to work with you like having runners intentionally commit outs, have the batter intentionally strike out. If the stats are so important, we outta introduce a new statistic, Out on Offensive Indifference. We do have Defensive Indifference, so why not have the offensive version? This way, the runner can step off 1st, stand there, get picked off, but have the out credited to offensive indifference rather than a pickoff against the runner... |

Intentionally striking out or getting picked off is usually obvious, and enormously insulting. I had a similar situation once, and the coach asked me privately "what can I do?" I told him to have his players try to hit ground balls right at the fielders and then try and beat them out. The outs will come, and no one is the wiser.
