| These are all from a cool website I came across called "1,001 Rules for My Unborn Son" http://rulesformyunbornson.tumblr.com/
Only 500 or so are online, the rest are in a book the guy has for sale. I went through and grabbed the ones I thought pertained to baseball and especially our league/team.
Enjoy:
499. Don’t miss the team photo.
486. Save your ticket stubs.
477. Always use “we” when referring to your home team or your government.
475. Act like you’ve been there before, especially in the endzone.
466. Bend your knees.
450. If the enemy is in range, so are you.
444. Lay off the high heat.
411. At the ballpark, never start the wave. But don’t let it die. (I disagree strongly with this one, let it die)
406. If you can touch it, you can catch it.
384. All drinking challenges must be accepted.
381. Walk it off.
369. You don’t get to choose your own nickname.
362. Focus.
348. Bring your mitt to the ballpark.
342. Don’t make a scene.
330. Give credit. Take the blame.
322. Sympathy is a crutch. Never fake a limp.
318. Don’t gloat. A good friend will do it for you.
297. When selling tickets, take face value. (I also strongly disagree with this one)
288. Believe.
282. Never swing at the first pitch. (eh, not a hard and fast rule…)
269. If you’ve made your point, stop talking.
268. Watch your language at the ballgame.
261. Admit when you are wrong. Be convincing.
256. On Sunday morning, a gentleman gets dressed (in his baseball uniform)
253. There is always something that could use a fresh coat of paint.
247. Twice a year, write down your goals.
246. Coach.
236. Don’t panic.
233. Go down fighting.
219. If you make a mistake, forgive yourself and move on.
210. Always keep a good joke handy.
204. Never skip practice.
195. Don’t boo. Even the ref is somebody’s son.
193. Never ask to be taken out of a ballgame.
192. If you aren’t a starter, stay close to the coach and be ready to play.
168. Be cool to the younger kids. Reputations are built over a lifetime.
141. Hustle
140. Never sit down on a ballfield. Take a knee
134. Remember to thank your hosts.
101. Root for the home team, even when they stink.
96. There is rarely a need to raise your voice. At the ballgame is one.
90. Push-ups and sit-ups are all you’ll ever need to build muscle.
89. When speaking with a journalist, choose your words carefully.
77. Never side against your brother in a fight.
54. Own your own baseball mitt and golf clubs.
51. You won’t always be the strongest or fastest. You can be the toughest.
34. Don’t be afraid of pickup games. It’s the best way to learn.
28. Keep your eye on the ball and follow through. In sports and in life.
16. You are what you do, not what you say.
3. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look him in the eye.

| And the one about "if you can touch it, you can catch it" is for Jay keeping book, this justifies all the errors he wants to hand out.

| I kind of like #77. Rule 77a is "Except if you're a Musil, then argue amongst yourselves."
