Have you ever seen a parent or coach flip out at a kids' sporting event? If the answer is yes, this is a story for you and every parent whose child participates in organized sports. A dad wants his son to succeed in baseball. To make sure it happens, he pushes, prods and coaches his son from the beginnings of t-ball through his high school career. The son's ambitions aren't as strong (he simply wants to play the game for fun), and the battle of wills strains their father-son relationship and also places tensions on the entire family. The dad knows the sting of not being good enough to play and with the best of intentions mistakenly pressures his son so that he won't experience the same thing. I know this story is true because I am that dad.
