The move by the first baseman was obviously taught to him by someone. The macho, tough guy, a hole coach who taught this to a 13 year old is the one who should be scrutinized. If this happens in high level so be it but I don't think it should be taught to 13 yos.
Trojan-Skipper, Son did learn a life/baseball lesson. thanks
Yes fillsfan, I would guess someone taught or showed him this move. Like I said in an earlier post, if these were older kids might have seen some retaliation.
Again, I will state that the blame was placed on the wrong person (the player), kids will get away with what they can, anytime, baseball or no baseball. Hey adults will try to get away with what they can if no one is watching.
How can one state that someone taught him to do this? Maybe this is an exceptional player (at 13) who figured it out for himself.
I guess that is what happens when there is no first base coach and one umpire. IMO, that's the issue.
Chalk it up to experience and let it go.

TPM, funny, I let it go several post ago. I am only answering other posters questions. Maybe you're the one that needs to let it go. You have stated your same opinion more than once here, just dont agree with it. Nothing personal.
Yeah, you are right, I can't let it go when adults post stuff about how inappropriate a 13 year old played (when no one minding the store), or parents and players blaming coaches or other players (when we only know one side). If you had let it go you would have after the game, and most likely you are right, it didn't bother your son as much as it did you. It didn't bother you at all that there was no coach at first base, or one umpire, but it bothered you that a 13 year old didn't act the way you felt he should? I don't get that. Sorry.
FWIW, my son is a good guy but if someone kept stealing on him he finds a way to make you uncomfortable, whether he was 13 or is 25.
I know I will get riped for this, but frankly there has been so much whining here lately about all sorts of stuff it's amazing (the coach is stupid, my teammates su ck, I deserve better than I am getting, I should be on V and only made JV, the kids play dirty, etc).
Don't you all know that there's no crying allowed in baseball.

It's an unwritten rule, but it should be a law!
How 'bout it John? You up for making it a law?
No? That's what I thought you'd say!

Fred Snodgrass, NY Giants, in the 1911 World Series...
quote:Snodgrass ran into major problems in the World Series, beginning in 1911. In Game Three, he led off the bottom of the 10th inning in a 1-1 game with his favorite maneuver, intentionally getting hit by a pitch. The umpire didn't buy it, but he did draw a walk, and after a sacrifice bunt he tried to advance on a short passed ball. The throw to Frank Baker at third base beat Snodgrass easily, so he leaped at Baker, hitting him spikes first as the tag was applied. He had done the same thing earlier in the Series, but this time he inflicted a wound that took several minutes to treat. Baker had the last laugh when he homered in the 11th inning to win the game, but all of Philadelphia was scandalized by what they saw as a deliberate attempt by Snodgrass to injure Baker. The next day, after Game Four was rained out in Philadelphia, Snodgrass felt the fans' wrath. "Snodgrass Hooted Out of Philadelphia," read the front-page headline in the New York Times. As the rains and abuse continued, McGraw sent Snodgrass back to New York amid rumors that he had been shot.

You took the words right out of my mouth Danny. TPM, you need to ratchet down that horrible attitude of yours. People come to this sight to share their experiences and learn from others. People do not come here to be questioned, called out, and berated by some cyber bully who thinks he is the worlds authority on baseball -- which you are not! Stay positive or stay off -- you remind me of my ex wife!quote:Originally posted by Danny Boydston:

Enough already!
