A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
Dear Parents,
Please remember that our Parkchester Tee-Ball Baseball League is designed to teach our children how to play the game of baseball. Equally as important, we want our children to have fun while doing so. Therefore, at this tee-ball level, we DO NOT encourage a focus on winning. Please reflect on the following poem...
He stands at the plate
with his heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded,
the die has been cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him,
he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment
would send the teams home.
The ball nears the plate,
he swings and he misses.
A thoughless voice cries,
strike out the bum.
Tears fill his eyes,
the game's no longer fun.
Remember, he's just a little boy,
who stands all along.
So open your heart,
and give him a break.
For it's moments like this
a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you
hear someone forget.
He's just a little boy
and Not A Man Yet.
Sincerely,
Parkchester Wildcats Little League
