Good sportsmanship

I’m coaching little league.

Junior takes a perfect game into the bottom of the last.

The umpire blows a call.

I go out and plead my case but lose because in the history of pleading one almost never wins.

Junior gets the next kid out and we all congratulate him.

Later at the ice cream truck the 15 year old umpire walks over to Junior and says he blew the call and he’s really sorry and wow what a game that was.

I say “thanks Blue” and we all eat ice cream.

That’s how you teach your children to be good sports.

We saw a rare case of that with adults these last 24 hours. I applaud everyone.

Great one-hitter. Put it in the books. Be proud.
