How about watching the game with your kids so they can see the things you have been teaching them? That was how my folks taught me some of the finer points of the game. Passing it on to my kids.

Did anyone see Pudge's interview during the rain delay last night? He is a CLASSY guy in addition to being possibly the best catcher to ever play the game. He was asked about questioning calls by the plate ump. Pudge said he commented to the ump on one call, then dropped it because it is just part of the game.

Yeah, I like Pudge. As I said on another game thread, he's the kind of guy who you hate for the sole reason that he does not play for your team. He plays with passion without taunting or being obnoxious, and he seems to be very respectful of the game and his place in it. I also caught Albert Pujols on the 6pm ET SportsCenter, and he sounded like a very humble guy as well.

It was a wonderful interview. I thought Pudge handled that question graciously and with class.
