But then reality has to snap you back...
I worked my way through college by umpiring a shit ton of baseball games (ages 12-14) in the summer months. Great part-time pay.
So I'd always bullshit the coaches (read: parents who generally didn't know shit) and ask how many games their teams were playing, etc. Very common to hear comments about 50-75. Why? Because lil' Johnny wants to play college ball. My reaction:

.
I've played ball at a level far beyond the average bear. So that's what makes all this talk even more preposterous to me.
Let the kids have fun. Try to help them learn something (about the sport and about themselves). And chill. Have fun.
