Real Baseball
Posted on 08/11/2002 in misc
I just watched back to back little league baseball games on ESPN2. I saw:
- Players who really care if they win or lose
- Baserunners who run out every ground ball
- Outfielders who understand the concept of a cut-off man
- Umpires who actually call the strike zone as its writen in the rule book
I didn't see:
- Players arguing with umpires, players, or coaches
- A fight break out after a hit batter
- The word strike used, except as the result of a pitch
- Pitchers take forever between pitches
- Batters calling time every other pitch
I saw two extremely well played, fast paced, baseball games. Screw the Major League Players Association, its Little League World Series Time!
