Baseball Scorekeeping Scorekeeper
Author: Baseball Bob
Why doesn’t my daughter enjoy being a baseball scorekeeper? She is selfish, isn’t she?
I had volunteered my 10 year old daughter this summer to be a scorekeeper for a local minor league baseball team.
At first she seemed to really enjoy the job and spending time at the ball park. However, she did make quite a few mistakes in scoring the game initially. I really had to go out on a limb to get her this job and didn’t appreciate her taking it so lightly.
Eventually I stepped in to help her while she and her stupid mother went on a vacation to the Lakes. That was disappointing, but tolerable.
What was NOT tolerable was my daughter then failing to return to scorekeeping with an improved attitude and ability.
I had her watch 3-5 hours of baseball a day. My goal is to have her work for the local team after High School. Why doesn’t she see this as a great idea? Not only is it an interesting career for her, but it would allow me to get into the games free.
This is NOT satisfactory, and I am beyond broken and betrayed at my daughter’s lack of faith in my vision
dont be offended, but i see the phrase my goals….maybe u should consider her goals, maybe she doesnt like scorekeeping…maybe she doesnt even like baseball, and no, i dont think she is selfish, she probably just doesnt like being forced to do things she doesnt like to do, now dont get me wrong, like forcing her to clean her room, or do chores, thats fine, but forcing her to do extra curricular or ect., things, i am around kids that are forced to be in sports or activities they hate, everyday, they dont have a passion for it, therefore they dont do it well, or at all…….
