Well Sports Fans, that special season has finally arrived once more! That time rife with excitement, action and two-year-old bubble gum. 'What season is that?,' you may ask. 'Soccer? Basketball? Golf?' No. Of course, I'm speaking about the sport that is SOOOOO exciting, I rarely get a chance to sit down: T-Ball!
Yes, it's true. For the second year in a row, Mrs. Thrice has managed to convince both me(It would be a great bonding experience with your son...) and my boy (Your dad is hoping you'll sign up so he can help you again) that T-Ball is the thing to do this summer. And to tell you the truth, after finishing the first game, I've noticed some VAST improvements in the way the game is played since last year.
First of all, compared to last year, there is LOTS OF HUSTLE out on the field. This could be because all the players have two more inches of leg (each) to work with. But I prefer to believe that our team, for the most part, except maybe five or six players at the very most, are actually paying attention now. Last year you would watch a batter 'hit' the ball and no matter where it driddled, it would take upwards of an hour for it to get back to the pitcher because the major activity of anyone out in the field was Kicking Sand. "Sandkicking" was so popular that I was positive I'd see stories in the Supermarket Tabloids with headlines like: Freak Sand Storms Cause Twelve-Car Pileup; Freak Sand Storms Predicted By Nostradamus AND the Bible; or I Was The Love Child of Bill Clinton and a Freak Sand Storm. I am pleased to say that NOW when a ball comes driddling out into the field, we see ACTION. Every player knows his position and her role in this, the most COMPLEX of children's sports. That role, which was drilled into each team member for the ENTIRE seventeen minute warm-up, was two-fold:
#1- GET THE BALL! GO GO GO GO GO! GET IT! GOOD HUSTLING!
#2- THROW IT! THROW IT TO FIRST! TO FIRST! TO THE GUY JUMPING AND WAVING HIS ARMS IN THE AIR! NOT THAT GUY, THE KID! GOOD JOB! GIVE ME FIVE! (NOTE: For the most part, the greatest reward a player expects after completing a tricky play like throwing to first is to be given 'five.')
Needless to say, it was a proud moment when we saw that training pay off. ALL FOURTEEN KIDS ran for the ball, fighting, pushing and kicking sand. These children were MOTIVATED. These children were FOCUSED. These children had no one to throw the ball to since the First Baseman had decided to join the pack. In fact, some of these children were standing directly ON TOP of the First Baseman.
The thing I like most about our league, though, is that we hold to tradition as much as possible. This includes the subtle art of negotiating. Even though I am not the coach, nor do I have an interest in coaching (or, for that matter, a knowledge of baseball), I was fortunate enough to find myself a part of the season's first Big Negotiation.
Coach Tim:" Um, hey man...Freakin' cold out here, huh?"
Me:"Hoo boy!"
Coach Tim:"How would your coach feel about calling 'er quits after you run through the line-up?"
Me:"Hoo boy! I'll have to ask. I'm with you, though. It's way too cold for the kids to play."
Coach Tim:"Come back and tell me what he says."
Me:"HEY COACH? THE OTHER TEAM DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE. THEY (heh heh) THINK IT'S 'TOO COLD!'"
Coach Craig:"Geez, it's about time! I thought they'd never ask. It's FREEZING out here!"
Me:"Hoo boy! My thoughts exactly. We've bonded enough for one day. Let's get out of here."
첫댓글 stuffed는 살쪘단 말이군요. be동사를 생략한 것 같아요. 근데 sandkicking은 정말 모르겠네요...
