At one point during a little league game, the coach said to one of his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?" <br /><br />The little boy nodded in the affirmative.<br /><br />"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes.<br /><br />"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or you're out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?" Again the little boy nodded.<br /><br /><br />"Good," said the coach, "now go over there and explain it to your mother."
