Which raises another question, is there a good way to help other parents to understand what not to do in the stands. Or should you just try to stay out of it? So far the new group of parents seem pretty good, but you never know.
Will also be trying to keep myself in check, to make sure, I don't do the things I hated to deal with as a coach.
Nothing you can do. Not your job. And sometimes, who knows, there may be a method to their madness.
One of the player's on my son's HS team was drafted out of Juco last year & is going to a ranked D1 instead. Really good kid, really great player, and dad is a super nice guy. But at the game, jeebus. Kid's hitting near .500 his senior year but every time he makes an out, no matter where you're sitting you hear HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! THAT'S HORRIBLE! WORST AT-BAT EVER! OH. MY. GOD!!!!
Kid struck out just once his senior year, looking ... you can bet that ump can still hear dad lighting him up.
