Explaining Softball
At one point during a game, the coach said to one of her young players, “Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?”The little girl nodded in the affirmative.“Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?”The little girl nodded yes.“So,” the coach continued, “when a strike is called, or you’re out at first, you don’t argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?”Again the little girl nodded.”Good,” said the coach, “now go over there and explain it to your father.”

Greatest Hitter
A little girl was overheard talking to herself as she strutted through the backyard, wearing her baseball cap and toting a ball and bat: “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” she announced. Then, she tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. “Strike One!” she yelled.Undaunted, she picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” She tossed the ball into the air. When it came down she swung again and missed. “Strike Two!” she cried.The girl paused a moment to examine her bat and ball carefully. She spit on her hands and rubbed them together. She straightened her cap and said once more, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” Again she tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. She missed. “Strike Three!”“Wow!” she exclaimed. “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world.”

An Umpire’s View
In a local match, the umpire was being jeered and heckled unmercifully from the crowd.At length he walked over to the boundary and sat down next to his chief critic.” What are you doing?” asked the spectator.” Well,” said the umpire,”it seems you get the best view from here.”
