Sports Talk generally screwed up. After one of these occasions many players will throw the bat, or use a variety of vocabulary which Webster's has neglected to print. Several short-tempered com- petitors have made it a personal habit to swear or chuck the lumber in disgust after being put out. These incidents do not make for an enjoyable game on behalf of the viewers. There is nothing more disgusting than to be sitting on the bleachers down the first base line and be subjected to the profanity uttered by a player called out at first. The use of four letter words and Biblical names seems to be increasing yet nobody is concerned about it. know how to refrain from the mini temper tantrums. Personally, I feel that a large part of this should fall on the umpires who should eject players who insist on using foul language, or on trying to drive a stick or a batting helmet into the ground and through the nearest fence. Perhaps if players would see their teammates tossed out of a game they would learn not to do it themselves. Part of the problem of controlling this should come to the coaches as well. If an umpire will not eliminate a youngster from the contest for these actions, then the coach should sit him down on the bench for a spell. If something is not done about these misdemeanors then everyone might have to start wearing ear muffs and hard hats to the ball yard. Bat throwing can be dangerous and the clouds of blue smoke can burn your ears.
