8u playing with emotion

[99&beyond]

My oldest DD was playing 12U last spring. At one point in a game, we had the pitcher crying (I don't remember why), the 1st baseman crying (she got yelled at for letting a ball get past her), and the catcher crying (my DD, who I yelled at to block the ball, since she just gave up a steal at home). I have no clue if we won or lost, I don't remember and it doesn't matter. And they were all crying for various reasons. My DD was crying because she was mad at herself.

I would take a team full of girls who put emotion into the game as opposed to ones who could care less if they win or lose.

Well two years ago in LL all-stars 9-10 yro,we went to states.Lots of hard work,sweat and tears.We went and where knocked out on the 3rd day.I look around at my girls in the field and in the dug out.They have tears,they know this was it the end of the run for us.I'am a 39yro man at the time,it brought tears to my eyes.You spend all this time with these great kids,and you become a family.If you don't have emotion then what are you in it for?
