There are parents out there screaming as if their kid is going to be in the big leagues someday. C'mon. I chew them out if I see that. Maybe they've got their own idea how to do things, but it's wrong. Just be with the kids. Let 'em make errors. Give them all a chance. It's not about winning. It's spirit, togetherness.

I don't like the pitch count! How are you gonna develop your arm? If you're a track man you say, Hey, you can't run too much. Or if you're a boxer you say, Hey, you can only box three rounds. It's not right!
Tommy Lasorda
My God, look at the words people use today. They use profanity like it's nothing. Christ almighty.

The worst team in baseball's history won only 55 games. The best team ever won 110 out of 160, so you're virtually guaranteed to win 1/3 of the time and lose 1/3 of the time. The difference is the 1/3 in the middle. You don't know what bucket the game you're playing falls into, so if you're smart, you'll fight like everything for all of them.
