At one point during a game, the coach called Will, one of
his 9-year-old
baseball players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation
is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together
as a team?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is
called,
you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a
pecker-head. Do you understand all that?
Again the little boy nodded.
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a
chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb
asshole, is it?"
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that
to your
grandmother".
