I rush home from work, straight to the gym for our 1st jr high practice ( I have 6 and 7th graders) and my wife meets at the door . She says " Bad News, one of your kids ask me which hand the glove goes on " ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D MD

LOL... I've had them ask... "where is right field?"

Many, many moons ago I coached a 10U rec baseball team. During one game, while coaching 3rd, I saw an umpire take one of the "novice" players, who was confused on why he couldn't see the pitcher, and physically turn the batter around to face field while at bat instead of facing the umpire.

This player was somewhat "challenged" you might say.

Heh heh, that's going to be fun.

A couple years ago, I was coaching a t-ball girls team. They were all very young even by t-ball standards. Thought I had covered the basics well enough in our limited practices. Sure enough, first girl of the seaon comes to bat, smacks the ball and takes off running like a wild deer..... to third base! I managed to meet her halfway up the line and get her turned around. Best part was she was still safe! Kids, gotta love em!

I had a girl say last night that "she thought this was softball, this ball is to hard"hope she was joking....
funny thing is we were using a softee...lol

I was told this story about a player recently,.....The coach lined the players up at home and was timing them to 2nd base. This girl was 1st in line and when told to go,.....she ran straight to 2nd base by way of the pitcher's circle. I of course laughed with the others present with the knowledge in my pea brain that in the 4th grade, I was told by my coach to run right to 2nd when I hit the ball. I did as instructed,.....I can still see the look on the pitcher's face as I ran past him. Double Duh :-[ ;D

Man, she would have been really confused if he said they were going to time them to home

A couple of years ago, our Varsity team was playing Huntington and we actually had a Varsity JUNIOR turn to the coach and ask " Is she allowed to pitch that fast?"

coaches pitch...girl on first base...ball is hit....slow roller towards second, the girl running to second stops picks the ball up and hands it to the second basemen who consequently tags her out..."i was just trying to help"...how do you get upset with a kid just tryin to be that nice!!!!

OK, I have to tell this story even though it is a baseball story AND true.

The team is a coach pitch boys team. The coach needed a home plate umpire. Now the only requirement for the home plate ump is the ability to count to seven. The kids get seven pitches to hit the ball. Coach couldn't find anyone except one mother who has the rep of being just wacko. The other asst. coaches said "No way," "You are Crazy," "What are you thinking?" Coach said it will be OK, all she has to do is count to seven. He had a decent field ump that would make all the calls at the bases. Things were going fine until...... Her kid was playing third. Batter hits a gapper. She starts screaming "get the ball" and is half way up the 3rd base line as the kid is rounding 2nd base. The throw comes in from the outfield to her kid at 3rd base. He misses it, but she is there to back him up. She fields the ball and tosses it back to her son who slaps the tag down and she calls the kid out!!!!! Now you how parents and coaches of little rec ball kids can be so I don't need to go into details. All I can say is that nobody went jail.

There was a A-league game here about 2 years ago. I'm not sure how it happened, but the some one went out to warm up the pitcher. The female coach and gigantic male coach (of the same team), got into it about wearing a face mask. She didn't believe one was need to warm up. She swung at him, the coaches from the opposing team tryed to break it up and take her off the field, while this was happening, she grabbed a bat and attacked her own coaching staff. Needless to say, she is no longer coaching, we couldn't believe it. He was okay. Funny now, not so funny then.

During tryouts this year for high school, a team mate tells my dd not to throw the ball so hard that she was just a girl. What was this girl implying?

This happened yesterday,...A coach was talking to the team about outfield conditions and several things an outfielder should be awre of by just taking the field. When asked, Have any of you checked the length of the grass? A voice comes out of the group,..You mean lately? :-? All at once the entire group turned to the voice in stunned silence. .....until the laughter started. :-[ :-[Currently our field has about 4 inches of snow on it, I have no idea how tall the grass is. ;D ;D
