"DaddY Ball" Phenomenon

The ones I always laughed at were the ones that had there big ole slow footed behemoths playing SS on a little league field even though the kid would never see the MIF once he got to a big field. The coach/dad didn't even realize they were doing their kid's a disservice. I have even seen left handed, big, slow footed LL shortstops.

 

I can't remember laughing so much reading a thread. This one nearly killed me

"Carries his bat bag because you cant damage that gun."

So Coach, are you saying you don't carry Jeff's shin guards, catcher's mask and bat bag around before, during and after the game?

~note to self~ somehow I can't picture Coach May toting anybody's stuff. But I can sure picture him saying, "get that up right now, junior"

 

How about the coach whose son is having tantrums on the mound..shaking his head, kicking the dirt and glaring at his teammates and the dad says in a barking voice, " Hey!!!!!insert name here...you gotta make those plays!!!!!!!"

 

Here's one

Dad: Its ok you got the lose Johnny, your still the best player on the team
Johnny: But dad I gave up 3 HR's and 12 runs and only pitched 3 innings
Dad: Well Johnny you dont have any talent around you, they should have robbed those HR's and those runs won't your fault.
Johnny: But dad we had no errors
Dad: That's not the point, in my opinion we had a ton of erros but nobody else thought they were errors.

 

That kid is so slow. "How slow is he?"

Ground ball 3rd to 1st routine play. Kid runs. 3rd basemen scoops and single pumps, then double pumps, then "no he doesn't." 3rd baseman mind you, triple pumps the runner and throws him out as the kid still hasn't made it 3/4 of the way to 1st!

Runner=yep you guessed it. Coaches son batting 5th.

Are you kidding me?? Come on!

Fastest kid on the team and better hitter, is where? Sitting the bench.

That Ive seen. Folks is that Daddy ball?

ps: Runner can pitch.

 

How many coaches kids have ever hit over .700 for a season? Has a coach's kid EVER reached on an error? Or made an error? How many fielder's choices have ever been scored a hit when the coach's kid hit into it?

 

You could ask that question any game. Scoring is up to those with a pencil. I have seen it.

 

*Just get on the League Board*

There are some real parents on boards that really help in thier Leagues and I take my hat off to them. Thanks for your hard work to make it happen!!!!!

And Then The FAKE PARENTS:

1) Parents that get on the Board in thier League with their only real purpose is to insure Little Johnny makes the All-Star team! (Sad part is that this works in most cases!) They put down better players in the league by saying they have a bad attitude and would not be a good fit for the team.

2) Parents who insure Little Johnny wins the Bat-a-thon!

3) Parents who insure Little Johnny's team is loaded!

4) Parents who insure Little Johnny's team plays 90% of thier games on the best field!

5) Parents on the Board that call special meeting when things don't go there way!

 

You forgot one...Parents who insure Little Johnny wins the Pitch-a-thon award too.
