Dan Koteleswell in the day and age of the home run or nothing, many kids forget how this game is meant to be, runs scored is absolutely the most important , w/o em you cant win games.
last year on my city "A" team, i scored 7 runs in 16 abs, w 5 hits ,4 were infield
OBP of 700 reached base 14 of 20 times w/o causing an out. Not one of my teammates even recognized the 7 runs statistic, they all comment on long fly ball outs. mY 40 and over team do not act this way. I wish you could teach todays 18-24yr olds taht an out is an out no matter how good that you look !!!!
Matter of fact , many high fived my 1bman for his long fly balls, he barely hit 100.
