Image via WikipediaWhen slaughtering an opponent, please remember some basic rules of thumb .
Once you are up by 10 in the 2nd inning and it is obvious that you will score much more back off.
- Stop stealing all bases except on overthrows and then move up only one base , but still don’t steal home
- Don’t bunt !
- Run only as far as the hit will allow, don’t "push the defense ".
- Don’t overcheer or rub it in
- Act respectfully, it will be you on the other side one day!
- Give kids a chance to play positions they may not have played before
- Sit your stars
- Treat the other team as you would like to be treated yourself
These rules are basic sportsmanship. There is no need to ever run up the score.
Did I forget any? Please let me know.
