I'm surprised it's the first tiume you're seeing these Dads. They are groomed in T-Ball. There's always one at every baseball game.
I was the commissioner of our youth program’s 7/8 machine pitch league. There were 144 kids on 12 teams. As commissioner in the beginning of the season you hang out at the park a few nights to check the tone of the parents.
One night I walked over to where most were sitting to clam them down. There were parents behaving over the top. I explained of all these kids only a handful will play high school ball. But there’s an opportunity to create 144 baseball fans. So let’s behave and make this a fun environment for the kids.
Anyone want to guess how this went over? A formed committee went to the board and complained I had a bad attitude. I was on the board. I had a one line defense ... “Look who’s on their little committee.”
It’s the same parents in every sport. Case closed.
