Things you never hear softball people say ...

[CoogansBluff]

A while back, I think it was Sluggers who said you never hear anyone say, ‘’My daughter is the No. 1 pitcher on her high school team because of politics.’’

Thought that might make a good thread.

What are other things you never hear? I thought of a couple -

“It's just rec ball. Let my daughter play some outfield and give those other kids a chance.’’

Or perhaps the most obvious one:

‘’I'm a Daddy Ball coach.’’

Some will tell you there isn't a daddy coach who isn't, but I've never heard a single confession.

10U and below the OF kind of sucks, 12U and up DD enjoys playing it. Feel free to put her out there.

My daughter was late to pre-game warm-up. She should sit the bench 1st.

Love that one!

Please take my DD out for a pinch runner.

No, that last time up you should have called my DD's hit an error.

That's a good one. Would love to hear a pitcher's father go up to the scorekeeper and say, ''Fielder lost that one in the sun. I'm afraid that's a hit, and those 4 runs were earned.''

"It's ok that 90% of our little league funding goes to baseball."

"School ball is superior to travel ball."

"She's the coach's daughter, so she's obviously the best pitcher, shortstop, and batter on the team."

"No honey, your cleats don't stink."

"Our team has 5 pitchers, and they're all good."

I'm glad you bunted my DD there.
