This Kid Has Moxie!

// August 26th, 2009 // DVs Observations, F'in Sports!

Oh, the good old days of Little League baseball… I remember it well. You don’t know how many home runs I had because my ground ball got past the infielder, which was then incapably handled by the outfielder, and myself crossing home plate as the ball sailed over the catcher thanks to a horrible throw from the cut-off man. Okay, so maybe they weren’t legit homers, but to a seven-year-old kid, it was a homer no matter what.

Imagine then how much legitimacy there is when you play in the Little League World Series where there is no room for dumb mistakes and where nothing comes cheaply. Yeah, pressure. Which is why I love this kid in the video – he just doesn’t give a fuck! He just wants to hit batters or sit on the bench… he’s just so pissed at himself that he wants to take it out on the other team! Seriously, he hasn’t felt this way at some point? The kid is just more honest about it.
