Everyone has their own helmet. Many with face masks. When I was a kid the coach had a big green canvas bag and dumped all the helmets on the ground before the game/practice. And then you tried to get the one that still had some padding left. Also, why do they even need helmets? Also bats. Everyone has their own bat. Im not buying an expensive bat for my 5 year old so those other little derp 5 yr olds can hit it against everything hard in the dugout. Would anyone else like to air some grievances about youth sports in general? Teaser: my next one is about Gatorade.

I currently have a brown canvas bag in the back of my ride with 4 community batting helmets in it. It looks like I am carrying a body around.

Is your Gatorade rant about why does the coach always get the yellow chowder to put in the jug even though he's the only one that drinks it? It should be.

I bought my kid her own helmet for t-ball because other kids are filthy and probably have lice

When did orange slices and Capri sun stop being the go-to post game snack? No, white Midwestern, my child doesn't want to cap off the night by drinking lemonade and pretzel sticks

No, but that's a good one. Mine is that there is no jug. All the parents bring 32 oz Gatorades for their kids. I guess you do lose a lot of electrolytes playing in the dirt behind 2nd base.

It's probably because you live in the south.

My favorite t-ball parent is the 'my kid hits way better at home' guy after little Johnny hits a ball 2 feet in front of the tee

Toddlerdobber has a big head. None of the helmets fit him. I am not buying him a helmet for tee-ball.
Usually 5-6 kids on his team show up, so a few of the parents stand on the edge of the infield to keep some of the balls from rolling too far. It is not a competitive league by any stretch, but the kids who show up in cleats and baseball pants, man, their parents take it very serious.
Toddlerdobber wears sweat pants and he dgaf.

Having kids sounds terrible.

My cousin is a high school softball player and her team was helping with a tee ball league the other day. Some kid didn't wait long enough after my cousin put the ball on the tee and nailed her in the back with the bat really hard. What an bad person!

Spoiler alert, mrs gooch: t-ball aged kids don't swing that hard. Your cousin sounds like a giant weiner.

dobber seems way too old to have a toddler.

Also, look out Mrs Gooch going all "kids are the worst" again.

Until I got to the "her", I thought you were suggesting that toddlerdobber should pack. He is a bit young to be carrying, but I was liking that you were sticking up for your cousin.

My cousin weighs about 90 lbs so I don't think it would take a lot of force. Plus the point is that the kid is an bad person.

The kids are awesome. Youth sports are almost exclusively ruined by the parents.

Why are you doing this? It's really bothering me.

Possibly true but also the kids with older bros will look like a millon bucks dressed out in the hand me down pants, backpack loaded with bats, etc.

I also enjoy the dichotomy of the hardcore baseball dads - with their kids its straight business in the low, don't eff with me voice and then it's the loud, aren't we having fun voice with the other kids.
