In a Pony League Baseball for kids 9 - 10, where league rules indicates everyone gets to bat, no more than 4 steals a game, etc.
It is the final game, for the championship, bottom of the 9th 2 outs the score is 1 - 0 in your favor, your team is pitching and at bat is the other team best hitter, and they have one kid in third. On deck is a kid a cancer survivor with multiple physical problems that can barely swing. What do you do you walk the best hitter so you can pitch to the disabled kid and get the easy out or do you pitch to the best hitter and risk the game.
This question is based in a Rick O'Reilly article in Sports Illustrated, and it actually happened (The coach of the team pitching walked the best hitter and got an easy out from the disabled kid).
So do you go for compassion or winning?
