Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team

A couple of years ago, I went to a tee-ball game to watch my former girlfriends kid play. I was shocked to learn that they didn't keep score. I asked her "How do they determine the winner?", and she replied, "They do not have winners and losers in tee-ball", and I said, "Wow, I bet the liberals feel good about that!".

We didn't date too much longer.

Saved yourself many years of certain grief!

I find single women are the most in favor of "not keeping score".

Consider the kind of score they want to forget. (how many sex partners got them into unwedmotherhood.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

When I was a kid (8) in Baton Rouge we would hang out in the back yard till one of the neighbors kid's shot a rock from a slingshot into one of the backyards from down the street (yep, we were that good with slingshots). Early 60's email, I suppose... That was the signal to meet at the (unsupervised) city playground where we played hardball till it got too hot. Then we used our bats (we all had our own bat) to play Combat. About the time we were falling out from that we would go to the abandoned orchard where a few plum trees still produced and ate plums from off the ground. After spending 6 to 8 hours unsupervised (about 4 Amber Alerts worth) we would head home, famished. One of the best times of my life...

What really bothers me in our local tee ball is that nobody
is ever out. The kids don't learn about the rules of the
game.
