Nope. Never in 13 years of baseball have I ever told my son or any other player to ever intentionally harm or attempt to harm another player...that's not us. I apologize if anyone on this thread feels that my previous posts in some way were a defense of inappropriate behavior....they were not intended to be, and surely were not meant to justify anyone's bad behavior. Once again, all I was saying is that we all can get a little sideways when it comes to our kids...I was defintely referring moreso to the common things you'd see and hear at a game i.e. getting on umpires, arguing calls, interactions with other fans and the like. I'm not sure how that escalated to the perception that I was advocating or condoning threats of violence against a kid. I agree , 100%, that's never okay and officials should enforce the KHSAA rules for spectators when that kind of behavior is observed. I, too, am troubled when people act foolishly at games and that is why I have a hard and fast rule to keep my mouth shut except for support of my player. I don't talk negatively about other players and I love to watch pure talent on the field no matter what jersey they have on.However, I am a parent and when hurtful or derogatory statements are made about my kid, I do take offense. I sincerely don't think that makes me a hypocrite, I think it makes me human. As my final statement on this matter....Good Luck, Bulldogs at MSU this weekend. You have the chops to win it!!!
