A word of advice

[John Saxton]

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old

baseball players aside and asked,

"Do you understand what co-operation is? What a team is?"

"Yes, coach." replied the little boy. "

“Do you understand that what matters....

is whether we win or lose together as a team?"

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called,

you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head,

d**khead or a**hole. Do you understand all that?"

Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.

The coach continued,

"And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance

to play, it's not a dumb ass decision or that the coach is a s**thead is it?"

"No, coach."

"Good", said the coach.....

"Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother."
