In case you weren’t aware…

Yelling “Let ‘er rip, tater chip” to your youngest son during a baseball game, while he is up to bat, is, once again, frowned upon.

Apparently, one should stick to “You got this!” and “Keep your eye on the ball!”, and “Good eye!”.

Frankly, baseball can be a pretty boring sport to watch, so sprucing it up with other choice phrases seems appropriate, but alas, I was wrong.

P.S. I’m the assistant coach, third base coach, statistician (bookkeeper), and dug-out mom. Personally, I feel with those credentials and my pay (nothing), I should be able to throw in (pun intended) a dash of delight here and there. No?
