T-Ball Journal: Rubbing It In
By Jim Coffman
The moral of this story: if the kids aren't talking to each other, they aren't taunting each other.Posted on July 27, 2007

T-Ball Journal: Punked Out
By Jim Coffman
The boy's dad sidled over to me and said something to the effect of "You're kid punked out my kid." When we relived the highlights after the game, the play in question was at the top of the list.Posted on July 12, 2007
T-Ball Journal: The Father Factor
By Jim Coffman

T-Ball Journal: No Cheering, Coach
By Jim Coffman
It doesn't take much to lose kids at his level. One struck out early in his first game and never came back.Posted on May 31, 2007
T-Ball Journal: Welcome to Little League
By Jim Coffman
Keeping the children hydrated, something we didn't worry about in my day, was the biggest drama of our season-opener - against the Cubs, a team that amazingly enough was sponsored by "Obama for President."Posted on May 24, 2007
