Gallery: “If you don’t listen, you don’t get to bat.”

On June 7 at the Jamie Baxter Park baseball diamond, around 10 six to eight year olds practice their baseball “break” position where they have the baseball in their mitt and their elbow raised properly to throw. The kids tried to distract and convince their coaches to let them as they pleased, asking why they had to do this, and trying to run off on their own. But the coaches kept them in line saying, “If you don’t listen, you don’t get to bat.”
