El diablo gringo Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I used to hit batters on purpose as a kid. I owned the inside of the plate. Does it make me a bad person or just competitive? That was a long time ago and that was what we were taught. I never gave it much thought. Gringo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was a 'Catcher' in little league. I really liked playing behind the plate. I would taunt batters of the opposing team with phrases like....... 'Bean Ball'. and of course, we had a really fast LEFT handed pitcher who could scare the heck out of all us during practice. When playing a team, I would sometimes comment to the batter about how WILD that lefty was and didn't have a lot of control over his WILD pitches. It kept some batters a little shook up. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was catcher in Little League and also in Pony league. I would try and freak out the batters like saying this pitcher is wild or he’s got terrible eyesight! I never saw a pitcher get this upset over a bean ball but the batter showed a lot of class by doing that! Good kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 One of my good friends and I were on different baseball teams. I was the pitcher in one of the games we played against each other. I was having a pretty bad day...hit him 3 times during the game. I didn't hit him on purpose but he was pretty mad about it for a week. After a week, he started talking to me again and I reminded him that I had hit 2 other batters during that game. Why I wasn't pulled is beyond me. Needless to say, we didn't win that game. Thanks for posting this Hardpan. Both pitcher and batter showed great sportsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 When I played football in Jr. High I tried to put the guy on the deck, hard. Hit him as hard as I could to try to intimidate him. But not to injure him. I can't understand intentionally throwing a baseball at someone's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
