Baseball is as Exciting as Watching Paint Dry

Yet another sacrifice we make for our kids. I am sitting in an informational meeting for baseball. I am not a baseball fan, if I had my choice I would never sit through an entire game. But my little boy has decided that baseball is his thing. I'm not sure if he decided this just because there was too much running in soccer or if he truly likes the sport. It doesn't really matter. He has committed so now I am a 'just while my sons playing' baseball fan. Soccer games are fast paced and exciting. Baseball games are kind of like watching paint dry. The only edge of your seat time is when your kid is playing but that lasts all of five seconds per inning and then you get to watch him in the dugout spitting and readjusting himself. These are purely my opinions. I'm sure there are many many people who actually enjoy the sport, but I can't imagine why. Parent involvement in these things is unbelievable. I always thought that sports were for the children. It almost seems like these parents are so into living their children's lives that they all but put the little uniforms on and run the bases. Maybe when they were kids they didn't get to play or their coaches yelled at them too much. Overprotective parents are not the exception anymore they are the norm. I don't fit that mold. I am too lazy to be overprotective. I'm barely protective. Oh who are we kidding, I rarely give a shit. Hopefully my kids will see it as it was - letting them experience their childhoods themselves. Enjoy!
