Noel will possibly rejoin the group when it gets really hot (I mean the ambient temperature) 2. DV - If they really want to intimidate 6 year olds, how about issuing real spikes, the steel kind, to your team and teach the kids how to slide and slash! As a real BB player, you probably are aware of several other intimidation techniques. There's always the no slide, knock them on their ass base running technique. Anytime you have the opportunity to make a 6 year old cry, it's probably good for intimidation. The knock-them-on-their-ass (KTOTA) worked for me once in 5th or 6th grade against Kathy Mohr. OK, it didn't really work because she still got me out, she didn't cry, and my best friend told me I was out-of-line. Just like you want to buy the cheapest house in the neighborhood, you want to have the lowest moral values in your crowd so that there will always be someone around to tell you when you are out-of-line. You may need to find a new T-ball team. Of course, it may be immoral to abandon the T-ball team to the existing zeitgeist. (I just looked up zeitgeist on wikipedia. I think it is appropriate.) Just so no one is offended, I'm joking, except about the zeitgeist and trying to knock Kathy Mohr down. A few more comments:

It's cheap, fun, and rewarding time with eachother. No wonder kids are growing up with a sense of entitlement.

What kind(s)of psycopath(s) wants to intimidate 6 year olds (and younger)? And hitting coaches for T-ball? What ever happened to a little help from mom and dad? OK, forget about the next level running. It's time to take your BLOG to the next level with gems like this. You could be the new and improved John Kelso. You even live south of the river, unlike him. Someone needs to skewer people and behavior like this and I vote for you - the pen is mightier than lots of things. Y’all hang with a pretty ritzy crowd.

OMG...I hope it's not Garrett. Good grief...it's T-ball. Who has a $75/hour hitting coach from Joshua’s team? OMG…I hope it’s not Garrett. Good grief…it’s T-ball.
