That the same kid that gripes when he doesn't start or hit in the top of the order, has a parent doing the same thing in the stands?
That this is the same kid that doesn't attend the free hitting camp at his own HS and his parents say "He needs some time off, those coaches take it way to seriously".
That some kids show up at college camps with their nose in the air like the game owes them something because someone told them they were good, and their dad is the one in the stands telling everyone how good their kid is.
That the college coaches never get a true look at this kid because the parent of this kid has already made them sure they dont want either one of them.
That the players that can really play seem to be the ones that are always wanting to stay late after practice for extra reps. And their parents never complain about them staying late.
That the players that never make excuses when they fail have parents in the stands that never have excuses for why their son failed.
That the players that dont start but still work hard and have a great attitude have parents that dont complain and encourage them to keep working hard.
That the players and parents that bash PG events are the ones that did not perform well at the events or have never attended one.
That the pitchers that stay calm and relaxed on the mound when the pressure is on have the parents in the stands that are not saying "Throw strikes".
That the kid that always seems to be clutch at the plate does not have a dad in the stands saying "Look for the curveball".
That the kid that shows respect for his coaches does not have a dad in the stands telling everyone that the coaches are idiots and why did they have their kid bunt in the third inning.
That the make up of the player almost always seems to mirror the make up of the parents.
That the player that constantly is saying "Hes not that good" has a parent saying the same thing.
That some coaches seem to win at the HS level regardless of the level of talent. And some only win when the talent level is far superior to the opponent.
That the same HS coach that says its not his responsibility to help kids find a place to play in college are the same HS coaches that cant be found in the off season.
That the HS coach yells and screams at his players for not getting a crucial bunt down in the 7th inning but never works on bunting in practice.
That the HS coach cant understand why his guys wont go backside on the pitcher working the outside all day but never works on hitting opposite field in practice.
That the make up of a HS team will always mirror that of the HS coaches.
Maybe its not that funny after all.
