Dear America, Stop Rewarding Medicocrity

This video of an 11 year old kid at a Angels stadium on July 30th, chosen to “steal third” and instead tripped right out of the blocks and broke his arm.  No many people are saying that the little bastard showed tremendous heart to get up and try and finish.  But let’s look at the facts, he stumbled over his own feet in the first three steps, and newsflash America: he didn’t finish.

Color me disappointed, but unless he straps that bad boy to his side, steals third, takes  that cheerleader looking girl out for drinks after, and then never calls her again I’m not impressed.  Hell, I’m not even amused.

  1. I’m new to this site so maybe I’m taking you too literal, but are you seriously ragging on an eleven year old kid? A kid who is probably nervous out of his mind in front of thousands of people, embarrassed beyond belief when as you say he trips over his own feet and to add insult to injury hurts his arm. I just hope this is a tongue in cheek blog a la Steven Colbert, otherwise, whoa man.
