And finally, we briefly interrupt Capt. Jimmy's Fun Page for this week's baseball tip.

The Baseball Bunch, with Armando Benitez

Hey Armando,
I want to quit my Little League team because the coach benched me for hitting the dugout wall with my fist after I gave up a game-losing home run. But my parents say I should stick it out. Who's right?
Tanner Boyle, 12

Dear Tanner,
Your coach did the right thing. The most important thing in sports is controlling your temper. Never punch the wall after a bad performance -- you might break your hand, and then where would you be? The way I like to release my pent-up steam is to grab a bat and smash up everything in sight. Just don't let any sneaky teammates rat you out or you'll have to pay for the damage.
