Once upon a time, someone once said "it is not whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game."
If that was ever really anything people believed or not, it is definately not true of the teams in "Select" little league.
The members of these teams are selected based upon their ability to play the sport.
Up until last night, this team had not had a losing game. Last night they learned all about it.
The other team was on their game. They hit well, they fetched balls out of the sky, and they out fielded our kids.
It was difficult to believe that our kids were the same young men who had played the previous four games so very well.
The group on the field last night did not come with the winning attitude they had been projecting.
It did not appear that the boys enjoyed the experience. The enthusiasm and bounce exhibited during the warm up exercises was GONE!
The coaching staff of dads did not rail on at them. They did not go to great lengths to let them know how well they had done either. How they had played the game netted them exactly what they deserved.
How very refreshing. Reality in play! Next game will be a whole new chance. We will be watching with interest to see what take home lessons they gleaned.

Tonight it feels like Spring! Chill in the air makes the sitting on bleachers a little more comfy! Very little!
Under overcast skies with every tree within miles in full fluff , with the sneezy stuff, we anticipated the beginning of tonight's main event .
Watching the kids warm up is always a fun feature. Such a lot of energy being expended at 5:45pm! Did we ever have that much?
Do these youngsters realize what impact this sport will have on who they ultimately become? Probably not! Do they understand the hours their folks have sacrificed so they could have this adventure?
The fact that each child has his own bat and other equipment makes a profound impact on the economy too! Bats did not cost $300 Dollars when our boys were involved in Baseball. They do today.... it's insane! League fee are high too.
Then again, when you consider that they are engaged in a worthwhile sport, there is an emphasis on learning to WIN, their families are all involved, who they are with is well controlled... The activity may well be priceless!

Who you watch makes all the difference.
No longer Is it just a game. There are leagues , such as this one, where at the ripe old age of seven, the absolute purpose for participation in the sport is honing skills.
Game? Not quite! This is strictly business. Parents, coaches and participants are all totally focused upon doing whatever they are assigned to do. And they are committed to do it best!
These young men hit, run and field as if life depended on it. Hours of practice are evidenced.
The first inning we saw consisted of three hits and three spectacular catches! Out one, two and three... Inning over!
Then our team was up to bat. Our grandsons first hit was a casualty. Lesson here is, If you dish it out, you have to take it too! These teams appear to be equally matched. The Second hitter was out at first. Third batter struck out so the entire inning was about five minutes total! The warm up for the pitcher took longer than the inning!
Same song second verse when the other team was up to bat. Nothing boring here. Last week has been a complete run away with a score of 14 to 0 by the second inning.
There were obviously not going to be big scores on either side tonight.
There are however lots of highly skilled young men on their way to the major leagues in about fifteen years! If they are this good now, just imagine how much fun they will be to watch by then!
