Calling It

In the sport of baseball, they have a term “calling it”. This means when there is a pop up in the infield or between the infield and outfield or a fly ball to the outfield one of the players has to call it or they may run into each other where one or both parties get hurt and the ball drops in for a hit.

In the outfield generally the rule is the centerfielder has the right to any ball he can get to; however, when the ball is hit between left and center field or center field and right field the centerfielder has to call out so the other fielder knows it is his ball. Sometimes though the other fielder thinks he can get it or he doesn’t hear the centerfield. The same goes on in the infield as well.

This can happen in our everyday life as well where we are calling it but another person isn’t hearing us or vice versa where we don’t hear them. There is miscommunication because we may feel like the centerfielder where we are in charge. The ball ends up dropping and everyone is upset. The best thing though someone should apologize whether they in the right or wrong. Often it doesn’t happen either so hurt feelings happen.

Another learning lesson we can all get from a sport or another lesson. It is so important for us to have communication among each other but sometimes it doesn’t happen then comes hurt feelings. This is when we should apologize whether we are right or wrong. Other words, we should be the bigger person. Amen!
