Little League baseball. It's like the Bud ads - True.
They're running through the line-up and you see the right fielder chewing on his glove. He's 12 years old, 5'4" and 96 lbs. His favorite movie is "Anchorman" and he wants to be a chiropractor. You gotta love that.
They're best hitter gets up and gets the sign from the coach to lay down the bunt. You don't see even a glint of disappointment in the kid's eyes. He's happy just to play the game. I swear they'd step into a pitch if coach asked them.
They take the calls - good or bad. And there's plenty of bad calls.
Errors rack up like RBI's, but nobody complains.
And they spit. A lot.
