We had another tournament this weekend.....what's new! And yet again our boys made it to the championship game and came in second place. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely proud of the boys for doing as well as they have but they want first place. They want it, need it, and can taste it. Coming in second is not acceptable to them anymore. It also didn't help that we lost to a team that is very unsportsmanlike and down right rude. They act and talk nasty to the other teams they play and the parents aren't much better. As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. On another note. Roger Clemens, yes the rocket, was out at the games this weekend and also was down right rude. We all understand he was there to watch his kids play baseball but when you are a famous baseball player out at a kids baseball tournament you have to expect to be mobbed by the kids that look up to you (even if us parents hate that). He chose this life and in that choice came certain responsibilities, like it or not. Their opinion of the rocket has not been tainted yet by the accusations of steroid abuse and unfaithfulness ect.... In light of everything he has been through as of late he should be ecstatic people still want his autograph. But no, he wanted nothing to do with it. After telling a group of our boys that he would sign some autograph's after his childs game he ditched them and told them to not follow him. Actually told them to turn around and walk the other way in a very not nice tone. Their opinion of him has now been tainted by his actions toward them not the media. Shame on Roger Clemens for bursting the bubbles of a lot of kids but at the same time this parent also thanks you because there are certainly better athletes for my child to look up to than you!
