Youth Baseball Enthusiast Pillows

'Don't be nervous, Connor. Dig in at the plate, keep your eye on the ball, swing level...and if you strike out, just throw your helmet and blame it all on the ump.'

"There will be a winning team and a losing team. Are you OK with that?"

'Look around, son. See if there's one you like. But remember: These are abandoned players, unwanted by their teams - so they might come with some psychological baggage.'

"Lordy, I am such a klutz!"

"I AM at my usual position."

'Yes, Jenny, I know I'm always reminding the team to be good sports, but you really don't have to thank the ref after every call.'

"I will always cheer you on, but I will never 'Woo-hoo!' you."

Political Candidates' Playbook Signals from the sidelines

Perils of the double play.

'I shoulda told you guys. . . Marmaduke makes up his own rules as we go along.'

Baseball pitch with a sign saying 'No Left Turn.'

A bunch of baseball players sitting on a baseball diamond watching TV.

Bases loaded, no outs. And coach once again turns to his trusty golden reliever.

"My wife wanted to see a diamond. So I took her to a ballgame."

'OK, now let's switch places.'

Vendor selling testosterone.

"There will be a winning team and a losing team. Are you OK with that?"

'Clear out your desk, Randy. ...NEXT!'

'We went generic. The players' salaries are affordable.'

'Marm doesn't understand, 'I've got it, I've got it'.'

'You can all relax and resume your game. The unattended bag discovered on the infield turned out to be the second base.'

"Gracie, I'm proud of you. Your team lost, but you tried your best and that's all that counts."

Sheltering in place.

"Are there any here today who feel this union is not in the best interests of baseball?"

"Think of me as the designated sitter."

"They'll be expecting adagio. Go with the allegro."

"Oh, how I wish the season would start!"

"Try letting the ball come to you."

"Slugger goes yard!!!"

'The only thing exciting about these games is our dads fighting with the umpire.'
