What a joy! What a laugh! I think coaching kids (5-6 yr olds) T-ball was meant to be a parental entertainment value. :)
Kid "A" gets a hit, runs to first base, stops. All is good in the world.
Kid "B" gets up to plate, hits a ball, and Kid "A" (who is a base runner) scoops the ball up and throws out his team mate Kid "B" at first base. :):)

Get the whip out. They'll learn quicker.

I don't think VMF-323 Training Tactics would apply here Swoop. :)

Aint that the truth!? LOL :D
My seven year old daughter is just as likely to be chasing a butterfly as keeping her eye on the ball. God bless the coaches!.

Heh, one 5 yr old was just happy holding my hand thru out most "idle times" during practice (his father died last year :( ). Cute bugger..his mother seemed alittle embarassed, I told her "Don't sweat it, Alex Rodrigez did the same thing when he was his age, and he didn't turn out all bad now did he?..." oh, bad example I guess...:D
-
Cool.
:)

ya, t-ball was the best. little league goes down hill from there.
but t-ball was a blast.
my son playing center feild the ball hits him in the back as he's turned completely around watching the 14 yr old girls in shorts playing on the next feild.
or my oldest daughter completely ignoring the game to sit and pick dandylions.
the kid who you had to dodge every time he was at bat 'cause he would swing as soon as the ball touches the 't', even before you let go of it.

ROTFLOL~! Thanks for the heads up on the last one, I'm a new coach! :D

I'm a new coach!
enjoy and savor this year. if you stay in little league you will spend many years wishing it could be like this again.
-
what capt. apathy said
once out of t ball it becomes so political it ruins alot of the fun for both the kid and the parents
and the parents can get outa control too...
better than coach is score keeper - about 8 seasons btwn the two sons - best view in the house, small kids not allowed, no skeeters and air conditioned :)
When the coach asks for volunteers, grab it, unless ur one of those type of parents who like to scream from the stands :)

lol, this is just the script that could have saved "Viva Knievel" from box office disaster. The Daredevil, foiling the drug dealers plot to kill him, is holding Billy's hand explaining it’s ok to use him as a role model instead of his dead father, drugs are bad, but supplements are ok, and [ –close zoom in on widow- she, noticing the wedding ring, begins to swell up in tears, finally crying as she embarrassing blushes at his manhood ] to always look both ways when crossing the street.
wow...
:rolleyes:

NO CREAMO ZONE THREAD
Please refrain from posting in this thread. Thank you.

My fondest memory of T-ball was looking out into center field and seeing this little boy on his hands and knees. One shoe was in his raised hand, as he waited patiently for a gopher to stick his head out of his hole. I think I laughed for a week after that one.
-
Let me give you a tip on the last one; I hold the end of the player's bat before I place the ball on the T. Works like a charm. :D
-
First of all, T-Ball promotes violence among our babies. Get them into a game that doesn't require them to physically strike an object with a weapon. Creative dance is a healthy sport for young children, I suggest any parents of t-ball age kids look into it.
Second of all, "Viva Knievel??" I've never heard of it. Creamo, is there a link to a movie review??
-
A thread destined to be made into a Lifetime Original Movie............
I coach both of my sons' teams (soccer and baseball), and it's as fun as anything that I do.

PS. Creamo, your post is absolute poetry!

I remember when I played t-ball when I was very little. My coach was a bit more agressive than the others and made us run laps around the t-ball field.

Oh, what a beauty! Thank you Creamo, I know what my weekend rental is gonna be :D

SOB
Gene Kelly plays Will Atkins: Evel’s mechanic, mentor, and a legendary stuntman in his own right
Lauren Hutton plays Kate Morgan: a reporter with a nose for sensationalism
Leslie Nielsen plays Stanley Millard: South American druglord
Also be on the lookout for small supporting roles by Dabney Coleman, Red Buttons and Frank "My Wife Can Too Sing!" Gifford.

That link is just hilarious, and is the best link to get the jist of the movie too SOB.
Here's a time-waster. Copy and paste that review it into WORD, and use the -edit-replace-words- feature. Try like 'Wife Beater' for 'Drug-Lord'... 'black-belt engineer' for 'stuntman', you get the picture. Pretty fabulous comedy if your bored.
Anyway, a classic flick.
Evel, Role model and spiritual healer-
The opening scene has Evel sneaking into an orphanage late at night - the orphans fast asleep, snug in their beds, with visions of sugar plums and flaming motorcycle mutilation dancing in their respective heads. Anyway, Evel awakens the young lads, much to their surprise and delight, and presents the orphans with action figures of – you guessed it – himself! And just when you think you’ve seen it all – one of the boys waddles out from between the beds, pushing himself along the floor on two crutches. Upon seeing his idol (that would be Evel), a wave on inspiration crosses the youngster’s countenance, and he immediately shucks the crutches aside and walks on his own two feet – miraculously healed! Triumphantly, the boy states, "You’re the reason I’m walking, Evel!" And then rushes into the daredevil’s arms.
Imagine that little bugger!Cute scene, but heart wrenching... :(
