FANS, PLEASE MEMORIZE.

WE GET IT, YOU (PLAYED, WATCHED, COACHED) BASEBALL.

No one wants to hear your "expert" opinion on coaching or umpiring. If you have a hard time keeping thoughts to yourself, consider watching via Gamechanger.

And we shouldn't have to say this, but unfortunately, it happens. Please do not yell at coaches or umpires. Ever. Ever. Ever. Infinity.

YOUR (CHILD, NEIGHBOR, STUDENT) NEED NOT HEAR YOU.

You don't have the tip that will change the game. Imagine giving an important presentation at your next board meeting. Now imagine someone commenting on every move you make, everything you say, and the timing of how you say it. Don't make us call HR.

THE "OTHER" IS NOT THE ENEMY.

Make new friends, talk to "opposing" parents, and enjoy the afternoon. We're all one big community with one thing in common: the love of the game. (And if you don't love the game, you will after this season. We promise.)

EVEN THAT GUY IN THE RED HAT.

We get that parents can be extra spicy. Take your restraint as a personal challenge. We believe in you!

BOTTOM LINE: SAY LESS.

Remember when your mama said less is more? She probably wasn't talking about baseball.

(We are.)
