Here's one from our High School team. I'll call this guy the team's MVD {Most Valuable Dad}. MVD's boy is a good kid, smart, popular and well mannered, but he is also big and slow and about as athletic as a sack of sand. He can't keep up with the rest of the team on anything where running or conditioning is involved. MVD guy does everything he can to make himself an indespensible part of the program. MVD guy hopes the coach will value him so much that he'll keep the boy on the team. You can usually find MVD guy in the coaches ear, pitching his latest idea to help the team, benefit the program or improve the facilities.
You won't find MVD guy standing behind homeplate with the rest of us guys in the genius club. MVD guy can't watch the games. He's too busy repainting the back side of the visitors dugout, or changing lightbulbs on the scoreboard, or gluing down carpet in the coaches office. MVD guy will send us all an e-mail that says..."I need help repairing the concession roof before tomorow's game. Any volunteers?" When nobody volunteers, we have to tolerate his sawing,
hammering and drilling throughout the entire game.
