t-ball game

Jack had T-ball tournament yesterday. somehow his coach got them in the t-ball tourny and it was there first game. They played 4 games. I think it was more of a scrimmage type thing, they will play there regular season here. The tournament games were an hour away. Which wasn't too bad, I invited Veronica and her girls to the game because they live an hour from where the games were being played, so it was halfway mark. We had fun, the kids had fun. Jack did really good. He hits hard and he runs hard and he plays hard. He started out in right field the first couple games then he moved to short-stop., He doesnt' like right field he would much rather play short stop. he does better at short stop. I'm gonna have to work with him on his catching and covering the bases and being the relay cutoff. I think he's gonna do good. He can get the grounders really good and he can throw pretty good but he overthrows alot. What can you expect though. it's his first yr and he's only 6.

There is one guy there who has twins on the team and he is a real ass. He take this whole t-ball too serious. I mean there kids for crying out loud. who cares if they win or lose? They're only 6. I have always heard of those parents who scream and yell at their kids if they mess up and act like idiots. This guy was keeping score for our team and he was sitting in front of me and he just acted like an ass. Muttering about how his kid is not an outfielder and how he's never played outfield. yelling at his kids out on the field because they didn't catch the ball. Or some shit like that. THEY ARE KIDS !! Goodness let them have fun. I was really waiting for him to say something about Jack and his errors and if that would have happened. I would have certainly said something to him. I was having a really hard time keeping my mouth shut. I was biting my tongue really hard not to tell that guy to shut the hell up and let the kids have fun. That is why he is not allowed to coach. Jack's coach Shawn said that he was not expecting us to win at all,. the important thing is for them to learn to be better ballplayers and better people. Not to win or lose but to learn sportsmanship and sportsman like conduct. And he was proud of the kids as well as the parents (the parents for not acting like idiots. with the exception of our scorekeeper) He told us from the very beginning if any of the parents act like idiots they will not be allowed at the practices or games cause he is not gonna put up with parents acting like idiots. It's for the kids to have fun not for the parents to scream and yell at them. He really has a great coach. I really like him.
