(After a long baseball season, I thought I would publish this post Bubba and I wrote together. It is all in fun and after long hours spent in the hot sun.)
#1 Super Competitive Player: This boy shows up with eye black for an evening game. He is often the coaches kid and keeps a copy of the line-up in his back pocket. Many times he is frustrated after practice sense no one on the team is as serious about the game.
#2 Mom Signed Him up: This boy doesn't want to be outside and even less on the baseball field. He would rather be playing video games. Many times, he has no idea what he is suppose to be doing---batting or in the field. But Dad is so excited he is getting play time!
#3 Newbie: This boy is just starting out and has let everyone know this is his first year. Usually he just needs extra coaching and practice time. He is athletic and picks up the game quickly, but can be frustrating to the Super Competitive Player.
#4 Where's the Party Player: This boy is here for the fun, playtime, and friends. He has little if any concern for the game or what the coach is implementing. Found in the back of the line wrestling another player, telling a joke, or playing tricks on someone else, he is clueless to what is going on in the game.
#5 Know It All Player: This boy is the one arguing with the coaches about the play and saying "I know" when told what needs to happen. He can tell you exactly what you "should" do in every hypothetical situation. Yet he is often found fumbling the ball, daydreaming in the field, or getting out due to his error.
This is just meant in fun and most kids fall somewhere in between on any given day.
Any guesses to which player I have in living in my home?
