Summer Baseball--Rant No 2- Cell Phones

[COHAZE]

Attention players and parents,

Any kid who texts, tweets, or makes calls from the dugout, during a game, has zero chance of ever being a real baseball player. Show some respect for the game people.

True story. I got a text from a former player recently. I was pretty sure his team was playing a game at the time, so I asked him where he was. He confirmed that they were in extra innings. I replied, "Real baseball players do not use their cell phones in the dugout dumba....."

I feel ya there! How about the mom that brings her son a McDonald's meal in the 2nd inning of the first game of the day? He was given the opportunity to go find his mom and enjoy his meal with her. He did not see the field that day, and almost didn't see it the second day of the event.
