One more boring story from me. I filled in a couple times with 12 and 13 year old girls and thats a whole different ballgame than 8 and 9 year olds. i was warned in advance, some of these girls are viscous and then i saw some of it myself. They would call the girls on the other team bitches when talking amongst themselves, and our catcher when some of the other teams batters would get ready to bat would talk trash at them. (Why did you bother to bring a bat up here, you cant hit the damn ball anyway.) I couldnt believe it, i thought it was funny although i did ask them to tone it down. Hell, i was afraid to say much more than that. They did want to win and they cared. Its not that many years of age between 8 and 9 and 12 and 13, but what a difference.
