Cut the chatter on the ball field, prevent crybabies
If you want to want to say, "Hey, battuh-battuh, swing" in Cincinnati, go to a Reds game and yell at Ken Griffey Jr.
At a youth game in the Ohio city, you have to be more positive because the traditional baseball chatter has been banned in the Knothole Club of Greater Cincinnati.
The 23,000 kids in the Cincinnati area can only engage in chatter if it is positive and directed at their own team.
We don't want kids feelings hurt, because then they would cry, and we all know there is no crying in baseball.
How did we ever survive before with all this chatter? I'm tempted to call this group the Knothead Club of Greater Cincinnati, but that wouldn't be positive.
