Little League...

[OutHouse]

i played LL in the 70's and we used to put as much bubblegum in our cheek as we could to imitate the big leagers and their chewing tobacco.

when the gum came out "Big League Chew" we thought we were hot shit because we had our own pouch of chew (bubblegum)

LOL - Kid asks coach if he can plunk the batter after losing the league due to some wild pitches.

COACH: "Hey, we're going to come up again."
PITCHER: "Is it okay if I just hit this batter?"
COACH: "What? No. No. Are you kidding me? ... Let's get this guy. Come on. We're still in this game. One-run game. You wanna stay in?"
PITCHER: "No."
COACH: "You wanna come out right now?"
PITCHER: "Yes, I do. Can I sit out?"
COACH: "No, you're going to first base."

Good for the coach. The kid was understandably dejected but the coach wasn't going to let him quit.

I'm not sure if they were doing it to imitate anyone in particular, or if they were just doing it because spitting was a cool thing to do. FWIW, that was 20 years ago. I conclude that around the age of 11-12, boys go through a spitting phase.

And around 16-22, girls go through a spitting phase. Then they realize the benefits of protein.

:laugh:

It's funny because the adults also imitate children when they get into petty arguments and fights over the game.
