Scott just shared this with me to put on the blog...
Tonight Drew had his first Little League game...yes, he is on 2 teams, the Mariners is his AAU competitive team and then the Twins is his Little League team. Scott is one of his LL coaches so he was coaching 3rd base.
Drew's team, the Twins, were ahead 12-0. Drew hits one to the fence and as he gets to third base, where his Dad is coaching here is the conversation.
Dad: Drew just stop here.
Drew: Dad I could've had a homerun!
Dad: We are ahead by 12 runs, stay here.
Drew: Dad I think you've been reading a little too much Tressel. :)
To explain...Jim Tressel is the Ohio State Football Coach and has a great book out that Scott loves called, Winners Manual. And Jim Tressel also is the kind of coach who doesn't like to run up the score on his teams...he likes to remain humble.
HAHAHA!!!! This is HILARIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you shared this story though...what a valuable lesson to learn at this age!
