One problem here could be "HC calls time out" ... HC can not "call" time out, only an Umpire can ... Is it possible the HC just walked onto the field without requesting or being granted a time out ? All he can do is request a time out and once (if) it is granted, then the HC may then approach the Umpire. From there he can request to speak to the Base Umpire if he wants to ... If the Dish Blue says he can speak to the Base Blue, then he can. A coach has no business on the field until the Blue calls time and allows it.

Do think that often coaches take cues from how the Umpire runs the game.
Since umpires running games have a variance from lax to strict and somewhere in between...
Coaches may be less or more formal approaching things.

He may have been out of the dugout, but he was requesting time out, but if that was a problem he should have said so.

Duh. Not a soul is arguing that, but that doesn't mean the after game handshake is meaningless. LESS meaningful isn't the same as meaningLESS but you are trying to make them synonymous. That's the rub.

By the time a kid is 14 the handshake line is procedural, something they have just done since they have been 5 YO. Keep it, I don't really care one way or the other, but I doubt most are deriving any actual lessons from it...
Except for those that are new to team sports, not all 14U SB players have been playing since 6U, or maybe it is new to them. (If they have been playing for GS, for instance, or some other coach who thinks the whole procedure is "meaningless")

Memories from it perhaps.
With certainty camaraderie from it!
Just commenting seems few people are talking about it like it's this this horrible event that happens when that's just not the case.
Lot of good vibes and Hello to friends and people haven't seen in a long time in that line.

Ok sure I guess I should have put most. Like I said I don't care but lets not make this out to be a mission trip to Africa..

Lol..really? We did it I guess but I can honestly never remember actually doing it..
Isn't that the best sort of life lesson? The ones that become so ingrained that you don't remember how or when it happened?
