Your thread title also reminded me of a funny story. Back in first year 10u, DD had an obsession while playing short or second, of cleaning the dirt off of second base. After someone would slide into the base and get dirt all over it she had to brush it off. Between plays she would walk over and dust it off with her hands. We were constantly telling her to leave the base alone.One day after several tries of cleaning it off, "blue" calls time out. Walks over to second base and cleans it off with his brush.I mean really cleans it off lol. Calls DD over to inspect the base and gets her approval. Walks back over to his spot and calls play ball without missing a beat. Looks over to me and the wife and just smiles. Never will forget that one. Still give DD crap about that one.
