I was fortunate enough to coach the US Olympic team in Australia. The parks were full at all times. How can they take away a sport like that?
Tommy LasordaOne time I was doing a speech to a group of kids, and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game, and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, 'What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don't cry.'
