Those are Acta’s rules. They’re the same for everyone.

An old coach of mine had a saying, “Ten minutes early is too late.” He also gave iron-clad deadlines in odd increments. If he said practice began at 6:23 a.m., and you arrived at 6:24, it was back to the locker room for the morning, and alternating pushups and wind sprints for twenty minutes after the afternoon practice. If it was announced that the bus was leaving at 4:37 p.m., you could set your watch by it, and if you weren’t on it, you got to listen to the game on the radio that night and do your pushups and wind sprints the next day. This seldom happened.

Manny, you're a schwantz. I hope someone puts sugar in your gas tank before a game, or castor oil in your Wheaties.

Misspelling Nationals ‘Natinals’ on their uniforms is priceless..

Manny Acta benched his best hitter (.323) because he was 5 minutes late at a Little League charity event.

Obviously this baseball manager has poor judgment, and should be replaced.

It reminds me of the probably apocryphal story about the temperance group that complained to Lincoln about Grant’s drinking. In the story, Lincoln’s response was to tell an aide “Find out what Grant is drinking, and send a barrel to all my other generals”.
