I wanted to put this out even though it is in reverse, dumb thing a coach said to a parent. This happen 20 years ago went my DD and her brother were playing on the same 8u baseball team. Thanks to the ignorance of some so called purest, the kids were pitching to themselves, but that's another story. I was at work, so this was told to me. I asked their mom how they played and she told me our DD played well. Then I ask how our son did. I was told he was benched because he was insubordinate. You know what he did? two games before he was HBP in a game so he became ball shy. Next game he stepped out the entire game,typical for a 7 YO. So this "coach" in her infinite wisdom sat him down the next game. DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!
