Reply to "Perception vs. Reality"

During the preteen years in rec and travel sports I crossed paths with plenty of delusion. For the most part I found it amusing and moved on.

However, as commission of the 7/8 machine pitch baseball league I had to have a talk with a group of parents about settling down on the sidelines.

I explained 4 to 6 of the 144 players were likely to become high school varsity players. But we could develop 144 baseball fans with the right adult behavior approach.

Some of them when to the youth league chairman to have me removed for having a bad attitude about the kid’s potential. The chairman explained the league commissioner’s responsibilities and asked which one of them wanted the job. No one.
