If you are a Mom who loves Baseball you can surely relate!
- If you don't check pockets, eventually you will end up with soggy sunflower seeds and/or big league chewing gum in your washing machine!
- White baseball pants only stay white for the first game. After that they're brown...FOREVER!
- 'RED' sand only looks nice on the field and does not wash out easily...even from leather seats! Always walk with a change of clothes for your child.
- Do not take the dog to the game...on a rainy day!
- Tom Hanks (as Jimmy Dugan in 'A League of Their Own') was wrong - there IS crying in baseball. It happens when your child has been on the mound for the 3rd inning in a row, the bases are loaded, he keeps hitting the batter, he can't find the strike zone, and Dad is yelling from the bleachers!
- They all look the same when they're in the outfield, so that child who's dancing 'Gangnam Style' at center field could very well be yours!
- If you remembered his glove, you forgot his cleats. If you remembered his cleats, your forgot his cup. If you remembered his cup, you forgot his glove. And if you have everything, you forgot where the game is being played!
- If, while driving, you try to apply the brakes and find that the pedal won't budge, DON'T PANIC! Just calmly reach down and pull out the baseball from under the pedal! Oh yeah, I've had first hand experience with this. That's why EVERYTHING goes in the trunk...even water bottles!
- Eventually you learn to bite your tongue while practice continues in the pouring rain! Apparently only lightening and thunder can harm your child.
- When your child has passed the Rookie Ball level, do no practice with him...unless you are using a soft ball!
- Sit as far away as possible during batting practice. Somehow the ball always finds its way to Mommy's head!
- After Midget level, do not run out on the field if your child gets hurt!
- Febreze is your best buddy...always keep an extra bottle in the car. When's the last time you sat next to a teenaged ball player?
- Under Armour is worth every penny...thank you Kevin Plank for the invention!
