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?"
"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 the umpire, or call him an *******. 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 ****head is it?"
"No, coach."
"Good,” the coach said. “Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.”
