Produktbeschreibung

Welcome to the hilarious and surprisingly insightful world of little league baseball, where the real game happens off the field. Mike Callahan thought coaching little league would be simple: teach kids to hit, catch, and run the bases. Instead, he finds himself navigating secret player drafts that resemble espionage operations, managing parents who treat ten-year-old games like the World Series, and partnering with Dave, an assistant coach whose statistical analysis would make professional scouts blush. From the chaos of draft day, where parents strategically hide their kids' talents, to the battlefield of travel baseball, where every rule becomes a negotiation and every game requires a parent containment strategy, this book takes you behind the scenes of America's favorite youth sport. You'll discover why the infield fly rule causes more controversy than it should, how a double catcher system can revolutionize your season, and why sometimes the worst team really does win the championship. With sharp wit and genuine heart, these stories celebrate the absurdity and joy of volunteer coaching. Whether you're dodging helicopter parents, decoding league politics, or just trying to remember which kid plays shortstop, you'll find yourself laughing at the chaos while appreciating the deeper lessons about community, growth, and what youth sports should really be about. Perfect for coaches, parents, and anyone who has ever wondered what really happens at those mysterious league meetings. For over 12 years, Paul Vann survived the chaos of youth baseball, starting with his own kids in tee-ball (a sport best described as herding cats) and eventually owning a travel team. Now that his own players have grown up and moved on, Paul is left with a garage full of gear and an unshakeable passion for the game. He eagerly awaits the day he can coach his grandkids, hopefully with his own kids doing most of the base running. This book is a collection of hilarious stories, life lessons, and practical tips from his time in the dugout, proving that teaching the fundamentals of baseball is just as important as knowing where the nearest ice cream shop is.
