[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 188267, member: 1498"] I think the adults need to grow up. My son was a hard thrower. And he wasn't wild. We heard the he-throws-too-hard thing all the time. One set of namby-pamby coaches tried to get him to take something off his pitches but they were lousy coaches in a league where they were way over their heads. My son wasn't the hardest thrower in that league, just the hardest thrower on our team. Some kids do get scared when they go up against hard throwers. It's the game. If you are so scared to bat, go up, take your three strikes and sit down. But remember that you don't get better playing against bad players, you get better playing against good players. It's not fair? [SIZE="1"]altogether now.....[/SIZE] Life's not fair. And sports are suppose to teach our kids about life. (Hey, remember back when kids played sports for fun and it was all good because sports taught you about life? Back before the adults were so involved?) [/QUOTE]
