Yep. In retrospect, if I had just listened and played to my strengths, I could’ve been a useful player. I cared less about winning the game as I did getting the post game snack from the team mom though….
My coach wanted me to use the crouched stance because I was already on the small/skinny side. He wanted me to just draw walks and then steal second base every time. Which is a great strategy but not much fun when you’re a little kid watching Rob Deer and Cecil Fielder on TV all the time.
