High school presentation

Got a call out of the blue...seems that a local high school heard about BALL through the grapevine and wants me to talk to the students...FOR 4 HOURS.  Alone on a stage.

Actually, it's four different periods in the auditorium.  Maybe we'll look at some videos and discuss...

Basketball and soccer referees getting attacked by parents for "bad" calls...

Football parents going ballistic for "bad" coaching decisions...

Baseball moms berating umpires for "blown" calls...

Or maybe it will be of my all-time sports hero, Nolan Ryan, getting the best of Robin Ventura after Ventura was unsuccessful at controlling his emotions...It's a shame that Ventura's above-average career will be remembered for charging the mound after getting hit by a 46 year old legend (completely by accident).

On the other hand, it merely added more mystique to Ryan's legacy.  Sometimes, you have to defend yourself.
