You just have to look like you’re trying.

Great stories!

In senior softball, in order to eliminate collisions the runner scores by crossing a line that is generally an extension of the first base line. A runner that touches the plate is out.

I thankful one doesn’t have to know all the ins and outs of baseball to be able to enjoy the game or even play it - and grateful for help for received here from time to time. I’m also thankful I got to play some Little League as a child.

One scene that saddens me to this day involved two of my grandsons who were in the stands, watching a little league team go through their drills several years ago. (They were never in Little League.)

The coach yelled to his team, “Line up to bat!” And off they went. They didn’t know they couldn’t bat. The coach had to chase them off - they weren’t HIS guys.

These boys are in HS now and have never played on a baseball team.

That’s sad to me.

The remedy would have been to sign them up for Little League.

They were already involved in other things: basketball, soccer, etc.

god forbid kids have more than one activity when they’re young.

Good lord.

Well then it sounds like they simply chose to do other things. I knew many kids growing up who never played baseball because they did other things.
