we got eliminated from the playoffs by a runner being thrown out at 3rd to end the game. He went on his own, breaking the rule that says 'don't make the first or third out at third base'. Heartbreaking. Wish I'd of know this then. I could have told the player to keep his chin up, Babe Ruth did the same thing!

Good luck and stay safe.

Baseball is supposed to be hard, otherwise everyone would be playing. That's what I always told my players.
