7.12. Score for the standings
Every team that wins a game gets one thousand (1000) points; If you achieve a tie, you get
three hundred and thirty-three (333) points; If you lose on the field of play or by decision of the
competent authority zero (0) points and if you lose by forfeit, five hundred (-500) points are
deducted. If a confiscation occurs you will not lose points.
The standings are defined based on the highest score in each of the rounds. It is established
that in cases where a team has three (3) tied games, the result will be rounded to one thousand
(1000) points.
In the event that not all teams have played the same number of games, the leagues can
determine the standings, establishing the relative order of each team, calculating the relationship
obtained by dividing the number of points achieved by that team by the number of games made by
himself
Example for section 7.12.
Team "A" played 19 times: won 17 and lost 2; team "B" played 18 times, won 16 and tied 2; Team
"C" played 18 times, won 15 and tied 3 games. The Table of Positions is as follows:
Equipment J.J. J.G. J.E. J.P. Points Points per game Position
TO 19 17 - 2 17.000 17.000 / 19 = 894.74 2
8 18 16 2 - 16.6 6 6 16,666/ 1 8 r = 925.89 1
c 18 15 3 - 16.000 16.000 /18 = 888,89 3
NOTE: The decisions of the League Boards related to this section have no appeal, unless there is
a mathematical error, in which case, first of all, reconsideration must be requested before the
League Board.
It is mandatory to play tiebreaker games to determine the final placement of the teams to qualify.
The Criollito Rule can be applied in the event of a tie as long as it has been established in the
Technical Congress for the Official League Championship.
Page 139
Venezuela
Creole Rule
a) If there are two or more tied teams, the one that would have won the game(s) against
each other qualifies, in the round in which the tie occurs.
b) If the previous criterion does not determine the classification, the team that has scored
the greatest number of runs from the total number of games played, in the round in which
the tie occurs, will classify.
c) The team with the best collective batting average, in the round in which the tie occurs.
d) The team that has hit the most home runs, in the round in which the tie occurs.
e) The team that has hit the most triples, in the round in which the tie occurs.
f) The team that has hit the most doubles, in the round in which the tie occurs.
g) If the tie persists, the League Board may use another criterion to decide.
h) 12.1. Table of positions to determine the first and second half of the teams
The League Directories are obliged to keep the Table of Positions, taking into account the
scoring according to section 7.12. (Score for the Standing Table), which allows determining
whether a team finished in the first or second half of the Standing Table of the Official League
Championship.
To determine the first half, the first six (6) teams in the Standing Table are considered when
twelve (12) or more teams participate in a championship. For less than twelve (12) teams it will be
half.
If it is an odd number, the next lower number is taken. Example: eleven (11) teams half = 5.5
five (5) teams qualify, these five (5) teams are considered to belong to the first half of the
standings, since we take the immediately lower number.
7.13. Regulatory measurements of the playing field

7.14. Ground conditions 7.14.1. Conditions

permanent
Many of the fields that are at the disposal of the Criollitos de Venezuela Corporation do not
meet the conditions required to fully comply with the baseball rules, as they were conceived. For
this reason, the situation of each playing field must be analyzed and conditions established that are
appropriate to the field and that are called permanent conditions (example: the distance through
the rightfield is very short; the back stop prevents the free movement of the receiver to control a
deflected shot and others).
The criteria to be applied in permanent conditions is to adapt the baseball rules to the field of
play (example: double instead of home run) and to protect the team that is playing defense, limiting
the maximum number of bases that a runner can reach due to a wild throw from a fielder and not to
favor the runner by granting him additional bases that he had never tried to reach.
League Boards must establish these permanent conditions in writing and incorporate them into
the championship conditions.
7.14.1. Accidental conditions
Additionally, unforeseen situations may arise caused by some fortuitous event that require them to
be incorporated as field conditions for that game. These conditions are called accidental conditions

(example: a movement of earth, a fallen tree, etc.).

others). Likewise, the field supervisor will be the immediate collaborator of the body of referees
and scorers, in relation to the attitude and behavior of the teams' bars in the stands, the late arrival
of players or technicians, among other aspects.

one(s). If something new has occurred, the field supervisor must present a detailed report of what
happened at the next league meeting.

MANAGER PHILOSOPHY
Being a manager involves a lot more than bringing bats and balls to the field and letting kids
play. It requires preparing them physically and mentally to compete in an effective, sporting and
safe manner as well as providing them with a positive model of behavior, because children will try
to imitate it.
Generally the manager is an adult with little or no formal training in managing children and
directing baseball. Therefore, it is essential that you like working with children, enjoy baseball,
have a lot of human sensitivity and a predisposition to learn. The technical staff must understand
that they are not dealing with professionals, but with children in full physical, intellectual and
emotional formation who require help in the comprehensive development of their talents, their
character and their personality.
The manager must know how to exercise his double role as educator and instructor; He must be
a teacher not only of baseball techniques, tactics and strategies, but also of human behavior, he
must teach children to always respect their teammates and the opponent. You must explain the
fundamentals of the game and care about the progress of ALL the players on the team and not just
the top nine.
The manager must define the behavior pattern for his team and explain it to the children and
their parents. The player must learn to accept the authority of the manager as well as that of the
referees and league officials. Nothing can be achieved if the players do not respect their instructor.
Disciplinary actions must be constant and equitable, both for the star of the team and for the
lesser player. They form character. Smoking, drinking, drug use, obscene language in any Los
Criollitos activity should not be tolerated.
"Giving" and "taking away" at the same time from children should be a form of treatment,
stimulating and observing them; transmit optimism by providing ability and knowledge so that the
player feels respect and sympathy for his manager.
Players must learn to practice and play as a team, making the necessary sacrifices to play an
effective team game. And, the manager, to "make a team", will have to prepare them and place
them in the correct position according to their abilities.
Baseball has to be fun. Even if you don't become a champion, which happens to most, you
have to make sure you achieve a pleasant atmosphere, injecting humor and variety into practices,
and spirit and purpose into games.
Page 210
Venezuela
It is imperative to minimize the possibility of injuries, which will be achieved by being alert to
what is happening to avoid damage to the muscles, ligaments and/or joints, due to inappropriate
and/or defective movements.
We must never forget that the player is first a student and therefore we must pay attention to his
school performance. The manager has to encourage the player in the fulfillment of student duty
and help him by promoting activities to overcome school deficiencies.
Planning practice schedules is a requirement to take advantage of them optimally, starting them
at the pre-established time. These should consist of routines designed to teach techniques and
fundamentals to all players and not simply rely on practice games to build the ability of the starting
nine. All team members must receive equal opportunity to demonstrate their skills and talents by
hitting, fielding, throwing and running.
Who can complain to a child about his lack of interest when he only plays the minimum required
and is not given individual attention during practice sessions? Allowing more experienced players
to serve as assistants to the coach: letting them hit rolling to the infield or fly balls to the outfield
frees the coach from work and thus the lesser players get more individual attention.
When a manager is at the same time the father of a player, there is a danger that the decisions
he makes where his son is involved will be misinterpreted, especially if it is a non-high-profile
player. Objective treatment will bear fruit, without demanding less from the child, but not too much
either.
Children also enjoy activities other than the game of baseball and should not have to focus
exclusively on this single game to the detriment of other sports or interests. The family is also
made up of other members who ask to be taken into account. The manager must develop a policy
that allows his players, with prior permission, to be absent from some commitments during the
season. This will allow the players to participate in other family activities or of their own interest and
will force the manager to consider the children 30% more carefully.
The search for talent and experience in established players on other teams, the piracy of
players, is the demonstration of a wrong approach to the role of a Criollito manager. The selfish
desire to be a champion at all costs should not overcome the sense of co-responsibility for the life
of the other team, which also requires the contributions of its experienced player trained in long
years of work.
Becoming a champion is the goal of any manager, but true satisfaction must come from the
deep experience of knowing that he did his best to help in the comprehensive development of each
child or adolescent that has been entrusted to him.

THE LEADER AND THE VOLUNTEERS:
In every human association it is necessary for people to identify their objectives, organize and
actively participate to achieve their common goals. Children take part by playing and adults
creating the structure and environment at the service of the former.
The harmony of these two elements is what not only provides good functioning, but also allows
high ideals to be achieved. The Criollitos as a group of people, requires guides to direct the great
diversity of adults, children, representatives, technicians that make up the Criollito family.
This leadership is carried out at different levels, in various tasks and requires multiple skills,
knowledge and experiences. Always, it is true, each member can contribute something, there will
always be a task that he can perform.
The father and representative almost always approaches the Corporation for a particular
interest limited to the participation and progress of his own child, his client. If you have a vocation
for service and want to contribute your capacity, knowledge, time and dedication, you will become
more and more involved and begin to become an essential element of the Criollito movement by
becoming a volunteer for the Corporation.
Volunteering is identified with the fact that the leader seeks to give and does not expect to
receive. Remuneration is obtained when he sees the positive result of his action in the other, in
others. He achieves self-fulfillment by seeing the work accomplished, by seeing himself integrated
into a group of people with the same purposes. Collaborate with your own will. No one forces him,
only his conscience calls him to give some of his talents to the community, to society.
It is pleasing to observe that leader who remains in the movement even after his children have
stopped being active players because they have already grown beyond the categories established
by the Criollito, their experience is needed.
A "model" leader must bring together many qualities that are difficult to find in a single person,
but which complement each other in the conjunction of an entire management team.
On the other hand, human culture is essential because deep down the issues we deal with are
essentially interpersonal and not technical. Decisions must continually be made that require a deep
sense of equity and justice, based on knowledge of the rules, instructions, regulations and laws,
and the rights of children and adolescents.
Page 212
Venezuela
It is necessary to know the techniques and rules of baseball, but much more important is
KNOWING ABOUT CHILDREN.
To remedy the lack of any of the required attributes, the leader, the volunteer, must have the
predisposition and the spirit to study, to acquire the missing knowledge and techniques through
reading, constant study and participation in workshops and exchanges of ideas. .
Every day we have to learn to direct, to lead, to advise the people around us.
Before making a decision, you have to know how to listen, you have to get rid of your particular
interests, you have to take off the uniform of the team, the motto, the league. We should not rush
to be objective.
Even if he does not agree, the leader must abide by the decisions of the higher body. You will
then have the possibility of appealing to other instances, but always respecting the hierarchy.
Being a leader, being a volunteer requires a commitment to contribute, to assume
responsibilities and to complete the assigned task without forgetting that you work as a team,
having a global and future vision and always asking where you need to improve.
The good leader recognizes the useful seed and helps form generations of replacement,
delegating functions and tasks.
The volunteer does not seek recognition, plaques, or praise. He carries the prize of the work
accomplished in his heart.
"Los Criollitos" constitute with a volunteer in action, not only for recreation, but especially for the
comprehensive training of our boys, where the ball game is a way, an opportunity to get to know
oneself and others, to accept oneself. yourself and others, respect yourself and others.

CIRCULAR FROM DR. DEL VECCHIO

TO ALL PARENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, RELATIVES, MANAGERS, COACHES AND THE
GENERAL PUBLIC WHO ATTEND MINOR BASEBALL GAMES, VERY ESPECIALLY THE
PREPARATORY, PRE-CHILDREN AND CHILDREN'S Category.
The practice of baseball, as well as any other sports discipline, should be used as a means of
training the child. Sport constitutes an effective complement to home and school education, to
achieve the complete integral formation of the human being.
Sports and culture are essential for children to be good and correct citizens tomorrow, useful to
society.
The experience we have is that the pre-infant and infant categories are the ones that cause the
most problems, many of them truly serious.
What causes this situation?
Most of the inconveniences are caused by the behavior of adults, who go to the fields without
having the slightest idea of the type of competition they are going to witness. First of all, referring
to pre-kindergarten, it is a category that is not competitive, but rather about learning, where
the participants, their children, like the other little boys - children too, creatures just like theirs - go
to the playing field. to take their first steps into a sport, which will help them develop physically and
morally.
Of course you would like your little boy's team to win, but the parents of the other team's
children think that is also a very natural and human thing.
Now, here is the most important thing in these categories. Gain? Of course not!
We have always maintained that children must be instilled with a spirit of competition, a desire
to win. We do not entirely share the thesis of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, organizer of the modern
Olympic Games, who states that the important thing is to participate. We believe that it is logical
and convenient for children to enter the playing field in search of victory, to play to win, always
naturally with sportsmanship, honesty and gallantry. But it is applicable only to children, never to
adults. For the latter, the most significant objectives cannot be to win, much less at all costs.
The result of the game, in this case, must be secondary.
1. Sportingly speaking, they should learn to play baseball and it is unfortunate that not even this
aspect is well understood by adults, since we must
Page 214
Venezuela
seeing how they overwhelm children when they make a mistake and are the cause of
mockery, ridicule and laughter from the opposing public, who do not realize that they are
children who are just starting out and cannot be demanded of them as if they were
professionals; and
2.Pedagogically speaking - and this is the most important of all - baseball is used as a means
to build the correct formation of the child. It is home and school education, combined with the
practice of a sports discipline, that will shape the child's personality, so that in his adult life, he
will be a factor of importance and usefulness, both for his community, as well as for the
society in which he will live.
It is sad to admit it, but in this Organization the grades obtained by the boys in the educational
establishment matter little. Even if performance in this regard leaves much to be desired, if the
child is good, they will enter Play, because they cannot risk losing.
The league can't control guys' grades. This is a matter of conscience and exclusive competence
of the children's parents in close collaboration with the team managers and coaches. If the child
does not complete his studies, he does not have the right to play. Understood in this way,
consciously, minor baseball and sports in general become a means of pressure, to help create in
the child a sense of responsibility. The little player who does not complete his studies cannot be
rewarded by putting him to play, even if he is the star of the team.
Are we aware of the importance of knowing how to win and lose in life? Well, in other countries
it is customary that at the end of each game the defeated team goes to the opposing Dugout to
congratulate the winner. And it must be like this, that the loser recognizes with sportsmanship the
merits made by the opponent to win, and the opponent accepts the congratulations with courtesy.
You have to know how to win and know how to lose. If today it is our turn to recognize the victory
of another, tomorrow it will be up to them to accept our triumph with honesty and sincerity.
Defeats must be acknowledged honestly. Analyze with all restraint the causes that could have
caused them, correct the failures and wait for another opportunity.
How many times have we witnessed games in which a team loses due to one or more errors in the
infield or outfield and yet the final comment of the children, even those who made the errors,
attempts to attribute the setback to a more or less debatable decision by a team? referee, who
may or may not have made a mistake. We are all human and how many times will we make
mistakes in life! But in no case was it the true cause of the defeat.
The serious thing about all this is that the child can be forgiven for trying to find an excuse, but
what is unjustifiable and unacceptable is that adults, in
Page 215
Venezuela
Instead of taking the opportunity to correct such an attitude, which is undoubtedly negative, they
support it and rather contribute to fueling the comment and creating an atmosphere of hostility
around the referee.
On numerous occasions we have heard adults feed the idea in their children that the referee
made a mistake in bad faith, that is, to intentionally favor the other team... What a monstrosity! ;
When the appropriate thing is to explain to the child that it is a mistake that responds to the fact of
being human and that in no way is due to bad intentions.
We are sure that many of the people who act this way, when reading this circular, will say: "No!"
But there are referees who make mistakes in bad faith. And in the denied assumption that this
were the case, their behavior would not be justified either, because we are not going to guide our
children along the crooked paths of things. In any case, we would deny the child the bad action
and then separately, we would talk to the referee and if necessary, the appropriate measures
would be taken.
The uncontrolled passion of adults for their own children or their family members reaches the
point that sometimes they don't even care what happens to their teams, as long as their children
excel. There are uncontrollable examples of men who have passed through the organization and
who apparently were interested in its destiny, but when their children left the youth category, they
never returned to Los Criollitos. It doesn't matter that they had started at the age of 8 in pre-
kindergarten and that for ten long years the organization had given them the opportunity to
practice their favorite sport and that it had contributed to the correct formation of that boy. No, what
they really cared about, very selfishly, were their children and nothing more than their children.
Are we exaggerating? Of course not! These comments are fruits of experience. We have
witnessed and heard everything on the playing fields and in our activities as directors of the
Organization.
It would be really interesting to make a recording of the voices of the public that attends the
games of the pre-infant and infant categories and then summon them to make themselves heard.
That way you could realize the atrocities that are said to little ones whose ages range between 8
and 12 years old. Instead of minor baseball matches, sometimes one has the impression of being
in a Roman circus.
We are aware that the concepts contained in this circular are really crude, but in everyone's
conscience we are sure that there is the certainty of not having deviated in the slightest from the
truth. We sincerely hope, however, that it will be received with broad receptivity and that it will
contribute to a better understanding of what minor baseball constitutes for this organization and,
more importantly, that we can
Page 216
Venezuela
to ensure that the adults, the parents of our little players, realize exactly the extraordinary means
that Los Criollitos de Venezuela put in their hands so that their boys obtain a correct formation,
both physically and morally, so that tomorrow they will be the excellent ones. citizens that this great
country needs.
Page 217
Venezuela
HOW DO YOU POSITION YOURSELF AS A FAN IN THE STADIUM?
The behavior of the groups, made up of parents and supporters on the playing fields, must be
oriented mainly towards the formation of the sporting spirit of children and young people. Hence,
offenses towards the technical staff, referees, opposing team, etc. must be avoided. It is
unfortunate that due to the uncontrolled tension of some, hours of play meant to entertain and
share become unpleasant moments.
Let's join our teammates to have a happy platform that encourages the players, applauding their
good plays with positive statements and let's say NO to those who offend, mock and disrespect our
organization.
1- Don't forget that your behavior is imitated by your children and observed by others.
2- Referees are human and therefore prone to mistakes. Do not go overboard with your
demonstrations against them.
3- Do not argue with anyone when you are watching a minor baseball game, talk friendly.
4- Don't MAKE FUN at children when they make a bad play, ENCOURAGE THEM.
5- Do not encourage children to play with VIOLENCE.
6- Winning is secondary, although it is an incentive. It is preferable to lose a game to protect a

child, than to win at all costs even by endangering the physical and moral integrity of the
child. First: Make friends, Second: Compete.
7- If a team wins, DON'T MAKE FUN at the losers. If a team loses, DON'T BE ANGRY at the
winners, remember that they are all children.
8- Take everything calmly, this is a school and you are one of the teachers.
9- The pitcher, the catcher and the batter are the players who are closest to the public,
therefore let's avoid ill-intentioned people trying to get their attention, with the sole purpose
of making them nervous. For these people the goal is to win, without caring about the harm
they may cause to the child, DON'T BE ONE OF THEM.
All the children in the world are reflections of yours, love them all.
Try to place yourself in the following “portraits” presented below.
Page 218
Venezuela
The models described are not intended to offend or denigrate and were not written to
characterize certain particular people. Any resemblance is pure coincidence.
1- The "Self-sufficient" representative.
He was a baseball player in his time. He made an effort to "get there" and couldn't. Today he
lives off his longing for the past and rotating from team to team of "veterans"
He always thinks he knows everything in baseball. He is the permanent disqualifying critic of

children and young people who want to stand out. "When in my time?" is his constant slogan:
2- The "Rostrum Referee" representative.
He is always in contradiction with the true referees of the game. He played baseball in his time
and retired because according to him the referees were dedicated to him and they are always
sellouts. He says he has "eagle" vision to see an out from afar and distinguish a strike very well.
When he is invited to collaborate on the field, he acts crazy, invents a thousand excuses because
he "knows too much" (disorienting the children's game, since he does not know the rules that apply
in this baseball).
3- The spontaneous representative.
He is always in everything: he wants to be from a cleaner and field marker to a league manager,
because he is afraid of delegating functions. Always says yes to any help requested. It is useful in
currencies and they fight for it. It is said that every year a person with these qualities arrives at the
Corporation: whoever gets it is his (her).
4- The bank representative.
He has bought all the imported sports clothing for his son, he is fascinated by seeing him
"dressed as a baseball player." He says that this one must be distinguished from the others. He
has also prohibited him from lending supplies to his colleagues. In recent days, the team almost
lost due to confiscation, since the boy did not want to lend his helmet.
After he sees his son in uniform, he leaves the game because the spectacle no longer attracts
him much and someone will take his son home.
5- The nervous representative.
He is always located in the stands behind home plate. From there he tries to "direct" and
scold his son. He makes signs at him, yells at him and even insults him. The child looks at it and
says inside: "Dad (Mom) let me concentrate so I can do it well."
Page 219
Venezuela
He runs down the stands with the hit that his son hits and shouts provocatively: "That's my son."
Generally, they take him (her) out of the stadium because he doesn't know how to control himself
and fights with everyone.
6- The solidarity representative.
He is humble, simple and goes unnoticed. He is an everlasting defender of institutionality.

Intelligently manage regulations for big decisions. Sometimes certain "vivians" who are never
missing, use him (her) and take advantage of him (her) to "climb" and he (she) rarely realizes it.
His opinion is always listened to carefully, he is admired and respected by everyone, especially by
those who want to learn. Goes unnoticed in the stadium. He arrives quietly and that's how he
leaves after the "out 27."
7- The critical representative.
Since he enrolled his son in the currency, he began to question everything. Why do I have to
pay? Why so many meetings? Why get up so early if you're going to have fun? Why is that field so
far away?
He questions the shape and color of the uniform, but does not make new suggestions, does not
bring positive ideas. He does not agree with the directive, nor with the technical staff because in
effect, everyone already has him (her) "marked". He is always angry and looking for his next
"victims" in the stands to poison them against everyone. His attitude is explainable: It is his son
who really likes baseball; He (she) always wanted his son to be a boy scout or a rock music singer:
a shame, right?
8- The screen representative
It is pure figure and paint. He wants to know and do everything, he always looks bad and makes
a fool of himself. He is the first at openings and at big events, especially when the press and
photographers come. He arrives with the best "sports galas", because his desire is to distract and
attract attention. He gets indignant when there are good plays because no one watches him (her).
He ends up leaving the stadium upset, because everyone knows that he made the wrong entrance.
9- The casual representative
Once he passed by the stadium, he heard the shouting, it caught his attention, and he
entered as if nothing had happened. Later he joined the activities and thinks that in the Corporation
everything is valid: from promoting individuals and groups to managing to set up a "little business"
on behalf of Los Criollitos. He never pays attention to gambling and people usually take advantage
of him because lately he has even promoted bets. He is rude and provocative. It is always
advisable to call the authorities so that they do not let you in anymore.
Page 220
Venezuela
10- - The dreamer representative
Every time he sees his son he imagines him on the big league fields. He enrolled him in the
Corporation because he considers that it is synonymous with a sports academy and that they
make him the "big league" of the family. Wherever he sees his son, he observes him full and
defaced with ($$) dollars, never loaded with love and affection.
11- The workshop representative.
He rarely goes to the game to see his son. He is a very busy person. Consider the Corporation
as a daycare or workshop for extra-curricular activities. He gets upset when they call him (her) to a
meeting and ask for collaboration because he always states that these organizations are
subsidized by the government and that is enough.
12- The representative bar.
They go to the stadium with all the clown paraphernalia: drums, whistles, bugles, sirens and
other stridencies. His desire is to cheer on his son's team, but he ends up offending the other
athletes. He defends himself by stating that he (she) can do whatever he wants, but he always
forgets that he is in a child's game and attended a game that was not his (her) game. Many times
he has to leave before the game ends because if he doesn't, they have to take him out hidden.
I hope your location has been the most accurate, frank and sincere. Think about it very
carefully.
Do you think those are your personal characteristics?
Can you improve them, modify them or are you satisfied with your choice?
Final Note: It is likely that your choice coincides with two or more portraits. If so, you are a "hybrid-
fan", therefore, it is urgent that you prepare to review and improve your behavior in the sporting
event.

LETTER FROM FRANCISQUITO TO HIS DAD
My dear daddy:
I have to tell you, I don't know if this is the best way for a nine-year-old baby like me, but I have
to tell you somehow. It's just that I suffer a lot, you see? When I'm supposed to be having fun, I
guess. I say, because when they make you play something it is so that you have fun. And I liked to
play baseball. Not now, because I suffer. I thought that playing ball was that and nothing more:
playing.
It turns out that you and the moms and dads of the other guys on the team have me crazy and
unwilling to wear a uniform anymore. These days when I was catching because I wasn't the little
guy who plays that position, I made a throw to second because one of the other team was going to
steal and you yelled at me: "You don't throw like that, it's on the base!" The truth is that I didn't
even think I was going to make it with my shot, much less that I could put the ball on base.
That day, which was Sunday, that is, when one has to enjoy because one has been at school all
week, which is good but not the same, I went through a lot of anguish. I didn't tell you anything
because I thought you would scold me, but my left hand was swollen after the game. I think it was
because I had never played with a pet; You know that my position is second base, the mascot was
very heavy, my arm was lowered and the ball hit me right in the center. That hit caused me pain,
but if I told you something, maybe you were going to tell me those angry things that you say when
we lose or when I strike out.
I liked to be like Omar Vizquel or Luis Sojo at second base, but now I don't like it much
anymore, because I liked that when I thought you could play without so many people behind you,
including your father, yelling and scolding.
All the kids on the team have talked about it and several of us have decided not to play ball
anymore, to see if we are happy like the other children.
And our manager also suffers a lot from the things you shout, and because when we lose they
complain that he made bad changes, and also because all the moms and dads want their children
to play the entire game, and sometimes he can't. put us all at once. Also because no one
congratulates him when we win.
I am always sure, daddy, that you do everything right and I imagine that now you are also
doing what needs to be done. But do you know what I heard people say these days? What many
parents want is to have fun and brag about the quality of their child's play, without caring if the boy
is having fun or not, aren't you like that, daddy? Because that would be bad and you are good.

I forgot how I hit, daddy, because when I stand there, he starts to tell me things, like somewhere
else than here, and I'm tangled.
Furthermore, what you yell at me from behind is different from what we practice. I don't
understand. And I would like to understand, however, since I see you so worried and hear you so
distressed when I play, I think I'm going to solve that problem for you by stopping getting involved
in those baseball things.
You know, daddy, that I love you very much and I don't want you to suffer for anything, least of
all for not knowing how to play the way you want me to, and that I believe is the best way, that is,
like Vizquel or Sojo.
I ask your blessing
Francisquito, the one who doesn't know how to catch.

LETTER TO A YOUNG CRIOLLITO
My dear Omar:
Yesterday we had an exchange of words, not to call it an argument. You were planning to go to
a party when the quarterlies are practically at the door. "It's my problem - you said and I know how
to solve it." And you embarked on an ideal schedule that measured every hour with great precision
and that showed me at least that you thought you had enough time to go to the party and to study
for the quarters.
In the end my criteria prevailed, I think sincerely shared by you, and there was no party.
However, I was not satisfied with the conversation and the things we said to each other. That is
why I would like to clarify them in these lines.
Son, it's not a question of having one or two hours to study. If you only decided to watch less
television and sleep less, you would already have enough time to take nuclear surgery exams. The
question is one of attitude and taking a position on important things. Give each of them an
evaluation and dedicate time and effort without dosage and without haggling. Quarterly exams are
not a requirement imposed by the school or education law. It is a personal challenge in which you
are going to show yourself that you are improving and that you are preparing for the future. And
those are not fancy phrases in some little school book that has the good boy and the bad boy. In
the daily commitment of life, man is alone with his capacity. And if you don't develop it, it's worth a
little less than others who did find the time to do it.
To make my point of view clear, I am going to make a comparison. Or to remind you because
you have already heard me say the same thing on other occasions. Think of your life as if it were a
baseball game. You are the manager and your players are your own faculties: intelligence,
memory, health, physical strength and keep counting until you gather eighteen players eager to
win all the games. You can only put nine of them on the field and from there the first selection task
begins.
Intelligence is like a good catcher who handles his players well and who must be kept in play all
the time, but many times it is better not to count on memory, which is a very fast but very "bolero"
pitcher who fails at moments difficult.
It is better to open games with compression that takes time to warm up but is much safer. And we
leave memory for a relief of anguish.
As a manager you must have a complete picture of the game and the values of the teams that face
you. Each of your faculties the men of your
Page 224
Venezuela
team are values that must be invested for the benefit of the entire team, without wasting them. You
must do races first. Winning the game comes later. The runs are scored gradually, putting a man in
first, then in second and so on until reaching the rubber. With patience and tenacity. Combining a
hit with a stolen base, a walk with a sacrifice, in a combination of brains and brawn. Going to a
party with an exam commitment ahead of you thinking that there will be time to study later is
wasting the opportunity to put a man on first, thinking that next comes the cleanup hitter who, with
a home run, is going to put the team to win. And home runs are rare, my son, even in the Major
Leagues.
And another thing: put all your men to play. You will always have a chance for each of them.
And I tell you this because there is an obscure player that young managers almost never take to
the field. It is called renunciation or also the capacity for sacrifice. He is not a game winner, nor a
spectacular home run hitter, nor a wonderful fielder. I don't think it's good to play it all the time
either. Worse if it is interesting to have it on hand as a reminder that not all games can be won.
And that sometimes the lost game teaches more than the one won by running
Bless you, Your dad

THE ATTITUDE OF THE ADULT IN MINOR BASEBALL.

Dr. José Del Vecchio
Parents can help their children

Be better baseball players,
But also
They can hurt them
By assuming unsportsmanlike attitudes
Children's games are full of secrets and motivations only known to children. The fantastic world
of children's play is different from the positivist and unimaginative world of adults. Children realize
this situation and little by little they reject the intervention and presence of adults in their games.
They are two different worlds: that of the strong and agonizing work of the adult and the wonderful
one, full of fantasies and dreams of children.
We realize in daily life that this distance between parents and children is accentuated until it
becomes a true abyss of communication. We witnessed a regrettable but absolutely true fact,
which is that father and son, two adjacent generations, only lived side by side, without dialogue
and without sharing affections or interests.
Children's baseball is a means to achieve that bridge of communication when parents join this
sport as managers, or leaders, establishing the long-awaited spiritual bridge between children and
adults, between parents and children.
There is a danger in adult intervention in children's baseball. Children want to play and naturally
they want to win; adults lose sight of the main objective of children's baseball, which is to let
children have fun, to develop physically and mentally in their world by imposing on the children's
game the interests, ambitions, anxieties and anxieties resulting from the world. where they act, with
the desire to stand out and predominate, with the discriminations and injustices typical of our
consumer society.
It is very good and positive that parents seek to establish contact of interest and
understanding with their children through children's baseball, but if such a parental situation
becomes pernicious due to their bad example, we reach a situation that we wish to eliminate from
our fields. sports, which is acting, the evil influence of many parents and adults who, instead of
building, helping and collaborating, come to sow a bad seed of hatred, injustice and negative
rudeness in an organization that should be eminently educational, both in its origin , in its purposes
as in its very statutes.
Page 226
Venezuela
Aggressiveness in children's baseball is a consequence of the actions of adults as managers or

as simple spectators in the stands, who with unsportsmanlike words and attitudes encourage
children to no longer play with other children, playing against rivals with the negative results that
This situation causes.
Managers are the heart of minor baseball organizations; The success or failure of the league
depends on their behavior on the playing field. Sometimes they forget about the children and adopt
the attitudes of managers of professional teams.
The manager's work must be one of guidance in the game, of good example and mainly of
foolproof honesty. Under no circumstances should you induce or favor situations of cheating and
lying with alterations and falsifications of birth certificates or identification documents; Those who
act that way cannot be in charge of the minors and should be definitively missed from minor
baseball.
Children's baseball managers must be prepared psychologically through seminars, so that they
are humanized and stop hurting less gifted children, who are often not such, but less skilled due to
lack of training and who must receive opportunities in the games.
In relation to parents, several situations arise: from their absolute negativity, apathetic and
disengaged, who are not interested in their children's games, handing them over to another person
and losing that great opportunity for dialogue and communication.
There are others who reach the point of excessive interference and demands that ruin the
educational work with their hysterical crises, with insults, screams and violent gestures against the
child who hurt their self-esteem by making a mistake.
Some parents, who, unaware of the educational work of children's baseball, demand that the
manager of the team in which their son plays, put him to play in such a position, because "he is the
best" without thinking about the harm he does to him with this position. attitude. A father who is the
manager of the team where his son plays must be very cautious not to hurt feelings and commit
injustice by favoring his own son.
The presence of parents and representatives as spectators at minor baseball games

constitutes a stimulus for children, but also contributes to increasing nervousness among young
players. We believe it is convenient for the child to become accustomed to facing commitments
and responsibilities before a public that should fairly value the acquired skill.
Page 227
Venezuela
But when the stands transform into a thousand-headed monster, shouting and insulting the little
athlete, without taking into account that he is a child who is just starting out and that you cannot
demand of him as if he were a professional, then this attitude from the podium, can unleash in the
child, with a strong character, violent reactions that spoil his behavior and in sensitive children, the
reaction can be disinterest and apathy, as a result of deep frustration, which will lead him to not
want to participate in the future in any sporting event.
Do adults have the right to intervene in children's games, to hurt, offend and injure them?
The words that we copy below correspond to the rights of the child, Principle VII of the UN
Declaration. From November 20, 1959.
"The child must fully enjoy games and recreation, which must be directed towards the purposes of
his education and orientation; society and its authorities will strive to promote the enjoyment of this
right."
