Tee-ball monster

• Player #9 tackling anyone trying to field the ball because he wanted to field it.
• Player #11 travelling from second to third stopped running to chase a ball that miraculously made it out of the infield.
• Player #8 hit the ball and ran toward third.
• Player #12 (Clownfish) bending down and playing with the infield dirt instead of watching where the hit ball went. . . and Player #1, who had just hit a nice shot up the third base line, left the baseline to join him instead of taking first.
• Player #9 moved to first base so he could be involved in every play without hurting others.
• Freaked out by the cheering for a decent hit, Player #13 running past first base screaming MOMMY, and right into his mother's knees.
• Player #9 chasing kids down the first base line and throwing balls at their heads while coaches scream "Just tag the bag!!"
• Player #9's mother pushing me out of the way so she could take a photo of her darling . . . just as he almost knocked over my kid.
• Player #12 (my boy) took to the plate for the third time, and the coach yelled "big hitter, look alive."
• Player #9's mother swearing at the coach for making her kid cry because he spoke to him sternly.
• Player #12's mother hip-checking Player #9's mother off the bleachers.
• Ok, no I didn't. I just thought about it.
