Ok, throwing a baseball at someone is part of the game as you said, but walking the best player is no longer part of the game? Someone tell that to MLB.
I saw this story a few days ago and fail to see what this guy did that is so wrong, is it his fault the kid was next? Did he give the kid cancer? What if the kid got a base hit? Would he get a movie deal like Jmac? There can be no Jmac without someone willing to put him in the game.
Do I think this coach thought the kid would get a hit? No, but that’s the crazy thing about sports, upsets do happen when they are least expected and if there is no walk there is no chance a upset could happen.
Imagine if he did hit it… Would there be a uproar that the best kid got walked?
So why is there one now?
