NO SHOW


Nobody shows up anybody in baseball.

The batter doesn’t talk back to the ump. The pitcher and the catcher don’t either.

The pitcher doesn’t glare at the batter. He just goes about his business, throwing strikes, getting him out. The batter doesn’t sneer at the pitcher, especially after he gets a hit.

The runner doesn’t pump his fist at the fielder when he completes a successful steal. He doesn’t nyah nyah the catcher. Instead, he humbly looks down. He doesn’t showboat. He shows respect.

Memories are long in this game.
