Snappy Retorts

[Stan W]

Jim,
I'm sure some of those will comeup in my mind the next time I run into a coach like that..might give me a chuckle...let me offer this one ...just called strike 3 on a batter 3 outs....first base Coach walking back to the dugout comes over to me...
Coach: "C'mon Blue..these kids are only 9 yrs old, ya got to give em a break!" "I know you call the older leagues but give these kids a break, they are only 9 yrs old"...

me: "let me get this straight...you want me to give the kids a break on balls and strikes because they are only 9 yrs old right?"

Coach: "Absolutely!"....

Me:" let me ask you a question Coach....How old are the pitchers?.........

Coach....ah.um......9.......

never heard a peep out of him for the rest of the tournament. Probably should have dumped him for arguing balls and strikes, but this way was more effective and more fun anyway...
