The coach of a Little League baseball team addressed his young players:
”Don’t take it too hard, fellas. Losing is no disgrace. The important thing is that you played hard and you played clean. Sure, winning is important, but it’s not everything. You guys showed a lot of spirit out there and your parents can be proud of their sons — just like the parents of the other team can be proud of their daughters.”
At this, one small boy was heard to mumble, “I knew he was going to rub it in.”
