Isn't it bad for a child's self esteem to strike out in baseball?
Let's get rid of the 3 strikes you're out rule.
Actually, my husband and I watched a specials olympics baseball game. It was great. Every kid up to bat swung until he/she hit the ball and if she couldn't deal with the pitched ball, they put up the t-ball stand. The kids then would cheer, on both teams. It was a lot of fun to watch.
I was also one frequently targeted first in dodge ball. There are plenty of other ways to be humilitated for practice in grade school. I don't really grieve the passing of dodge ball.
I agree. And while we're at it, I'll advocate removing the defensemen from the blueline and the goalie from in front of the net.
EVERYBODY WINS!!!
