At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, 'Do you Understand what cooperation is? What a team is?'

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win Or lose together as a team?'

The little boy nodded yes..

'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an Out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, Or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?'

Again the little boy nodded.

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsman- ship to call your coach 'a dumb asshole' is it?'

Again the little boy nodded.

Good,' said the coach. 'Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.'
