They are batting 11 players so everyone gets a chance to hit and play. Obviously not real baseball rules and the kid got to play..

Move on and tell the coach next year when the kids move up to MLB they will have to abide by Real Baseball rules.

Let them play!

Remember, only half the kids can be above average.

I know it is not true. It was something that was always said to/around me as a kid. (Kind of like, "Reading, writing, 'rithmetic")

The "average" referred to originally is arithmatic mean.
The "average" referred to in the saying is really arithmatic median.

Explain please. If there is average then half are above and half below, unless we are considering the head of pin for the ONE.

What is the average of the values 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, and 1?

91.

91% (10 out of 11) of the values are above average.

You are confusing average (mean) with median.

99.99% of people have more than the average number of arms. (No disrespect intented to anyone who has fewer than the averag or more than the median number of arms.)
