verbal obstruction

[ccbestul]

I don't disagree with PeteBooth. I would say that 90% of all games are played by baseball players. Unfortunatly, coaches are expected to win not play baseball. Most high school age kids don't have the control to throw chin music, they don't know how to play 1st base properly, they cannot turn a proper double play. In my day the coached yelled at me if I did not slide correctly, set-up properly for throws, or take the extra base on a mental error. Some of these kids are taught intimidation and get-away-with plays. Thats why we have become the controllers of the game. Is it right? This day and age, thats a mute point.
