RE: Dear Coach, I Wish You Would Have Criticized Me
It's pretty rotten that your coach refused to let you get just one inning pitching in that double-header. I can see where you could easily feel that he was intentionally ignoring you, and catering to the suburban kids, and you were probably correct. That kind of favoritism to me, just shows the guy should never have been a coach. His primary concern in coaching was likely being sure to kiss-up to the suburban kids' parents, and since you weren't one of those, it was easy for him to ignore you.
Guys like that have ruined many a good athlete's chance for success in sports with their ignorance. In your case, the suburban parents probably thought he was a great coach because he sucked up to them, and as long as their kid got in the game, they could care less about how well the team did under his direction as the coach. Sad. !tipuvote .2
Yes, I probably tend to agree with all of that. Not a lot I can do about it now, but I guess there's always that 4% chance I get my back issues corrected and get in a good place spiritually and tryout somewhere in an independent league

I've toyed with the idea the past couple springs of getting into a senior league, (some nice ballparks around my area), as I can still run, field and hit fine, but I do have bad knees, and one is really bad, (inner meniscus is totally gone in my right knee). I haven't done it yet, but I still consider doing it. Last time I played was about 12 years ago. Beside my knee problems , I know I'd be one of the most fit guys there.
