Funny Things Softball Players Say | Softball Is For Girls

Softball Players say Funny things. Today, we share some of our favorites.

We recently had a Facebook post looking for the funny things softball players say. After reading through the over 200 comments, with a couple of nose snort laughs, we realized that to offset some of the stress of being an athletic parent, we needed to share. ENJOY!

• Player steals second, forces an overthrow and takes third. Coach: Why Did you steal? I didn’t even give you a sign. Player: (first baseman) there was a spider on first. You should probably sit me next inning or go kill it. 

• My all time favorite. During ground rules the umpires introduced themselves and their names were Chip and Dale. My catcher, “like the chipmonks or the dancers?” These guys were well into their 70’s, I didn’t know humans could turn so red

• My 8 year old catcher took a thrown bat to her chest/shoulder. She sat out for the rest of the inning and came back the next. After a couple pitches she asked for time and came to me ( I’m the coach and in our league we have a coach behind home to help with a tee). . Thinking she was still hurting I asked her what was wrong. Her response was “can I pick dinner… you know since I got hurt and toughed it out to come back??” Omg kid… not an appropriate time to delay the game…. get back in the game….. and yes she got to pick dinner 😉

• Catcher called time out to talk to pitcher. She told pitcher she didn’t need anything but just had to fart lol.

• 10 u. I told my runner at 1st base to get ready to run all the way to third base (big hitter in the line up) Batter hits the ball into the outfield. Runner cuts through infield going straight to third base. Doesn’t even attempt to run to 2nd. Umpire calls her out. Runner says “why did I get called out you told me to run to third base”Guess I should have been more specific.

• Child standing in right field “mom my tooth fell out”

• I can’t hear you the sun is in my eyes!”

• Aint this one the truth!!! — “yes, I have all my gear” (she did not have all her gear…)

• Why does the car smell like corn chips??”

• My daughter pitching, takes a line drive to the thigh. Still throws runner out at 1 and tells her coach “ she doesn’t get to hit me AND be safe”

• My daughter reaching to the depths of bottom of the bag hell pulls out a bag of seeds…”I think they are from this season” pops hand full into mouth as I grab the bag and see the date of 2011…it was 2013

• My daughter reaching to the depths of bottom of the bag hell pulls out a bag of seeds…”I think they are from this season” pops hand full into mouth as I grab the bag and see the date of 2011…it was 2013

• Kids: did we win? Coach(me) well, we either win or we learn, so what did we learn today? One girl (under her breath) : try harder to win?

These are just a few of the comments. And just a reminder that these kids keep everything in perspect, sometimes better than we, as parents do. Gotta love things from the mouths of babes.
