Personally, I would not have walked the other kid to get at someone who had cancer and had only had two hits in twelve games in a Recreational League. I don't think that is playing within the spirit of the game. I would have pitched to the good batter and just considered it to be the way things worked out if he beat me. It's a for-fun league for pete's sake. That's probably why I never was considered too smart of a coach tactically.
