At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old
baseball players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation
is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose
together as a team?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"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. Do you understand all that?
Again the little boy nodded.
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy
gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach
'a dumb ass' is it?"
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to
your grandmother".
