It’s that time of year once again when baseball parents and pedophiles all across
As a guy who played baseball for fifteen years at various levels, and as a person who appreciates a good ballgame, to me Little League games should never, ever be televised. Ever. Why kids’ baseball is selected for exposure and not, say, peewee hockey or Pop Warner football is beyond me. All these sports—when played by prepubescent children—are equally horrible trainwrecks that make mockeries of the games attempting to be played. And what do you expect? They’re little kids, and they have to learn somehow. But to televise this garbage is just brutal.
Not only are baseball fundamentals often missing from these on-field abortions, but when kids make errors, strike out, or lose games, more often than not they cry like Glenn Beck when he talks about 9/11. It’s pathetic, hammy, and cruel because the programmers have no business putting these emotionally unstable people on television.
Unfortunately, ESPN will continue to televise the LLWS so long as they both exist. At the very least, Little League officials should make all players watch the following clip so as to remind them of one very important point:
There is no crying in baseball.
