I am proud to say that to this day I have kids come up to me and say thanks for teaching them how to hit (even their moms, and sometimes their dads, say thanks, too).

Sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone and i'm the last person who would put down girls. As a kid i played little league baseball and i was a good flieder and mostly played shortstop but i was never a good hitter and my team mates use to say i hit like a girl and little did they know that when i grew up i would become a girl so in away i find it funny but by no means was i putting down girls sports
