One Of The Most Important Rules Of Being A High School Coach Is That You're Not Allowed To Tackle Any Of The Players

There are plenty of unwritten rules in baseball and softball.

Most of those rules all apply to playing the game with a certain level of etiquette and respect.

But not tackling a player should be one of the easier rules to follow, no?

Don’t get me wrong.

There are always going to be kids who deserve to get tackled.

There are always going to be kids who you’d like to tackle.

But you just can’t act on those impulses.

You have to push those feelings deep down there and hope that life eventually catches up with that kid.

By the way–I don’t even get what this brouhaha was about in the first place.

Seemed like a good, hard play at the plate to me.
