Most obnoxious parent

[Vertigo]

Obnoxious parents are also the ones who always “volunteer” to tell you how great their dd is when that info is unsolicited.

To me, the most obnoxious parents are the ones who are silent the whole game except for when their dd is up to bat, is pitching, or makes a play. Not only are they just cheering for their kid, but they are screaming at the top of their lungs, so you know they aren’t cheering for other players just because they are quiet and shy.

When I was a head coach, one of our pitchers’ dads would constantly yell out to his kid, “Not your fault honey, your fielders need to have your back” if she was getting hit hard and the balls were not playable. He was a peach.

DD was a pitcher on a team with 2 pitcher parents like this. One always yelled at the ump about the strike zone - obnoxiously - when their kid was pitching. The other one constant complained out loud when errors were made in the field when their kid was pitching. Both were quiet as a church mouse when their respective kids weren’t pitching. Their kids are mini versions of them. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all pans out in college.

The assumption you're making is they get that far. Most college coaches I know would watch these parents and players during a game, see how they act and turn around and walk away.

Most obnoxious. Any other parent who didnt
Appreciate the absolute beast of a softball player my dd was.

This is a case where recruiting through AGL has worked in these kids’ favor. Coaches are basing recruitment decisions based off of limited information. I’m waiting for one kid to give up her first HR in college, point to the coach and tell him/her that “she put the ball where they called it” to see how that goes over.

Pet Peeves:

1. Only cheering for your kid
2. Yelling "Safe" for your kid on every single play, regardless of how obviously out she was
3. Thinking that a FC is a hit


More to come...

A bit off topic, but I'm curious how you feel about booing the pitcher on a throw over to first base in MLB? It's one of my true joys in life and I have no idea why. I imagine most people find it obnoxious, I however love it. I think I enjoy the absurdity of it.

I also have no idea why your post made me think of that.....................and I swear I haven't started drinking yet.
