I Love to Watch You Play
In the midst of today’s epic world of youth sports comes a collection of real utterances by real parents straight from the little league baseball field.
Put yourself in the middle of all the action! NO, NOT ON THE FIELD BUT ON THE BLEACHERS, where what parents say to their kids is so generously shared with whoever happens to be in earshot, and is as much a part of the game as the balls, bats, and cleats that are carried.
This collection artfully weaves parents and kids together culminating in the six little words that are possibly the only words your kids truly want to hear you say at their sporting event:
“I Love To Watch You Play!”
It’s a beautiful day for baseball folks! Enjoy this stuff of childhood.

Beanie is a devoted mother and “first fan” of two sons, who played little league baseball on fields locally and out-of-state. Over the years of sitting on the bleachers, especially during long duration games, she chronicled dozens of memorable expressions from parents, coaches, umps and players. They have been preserved on the pages of her whimsical picture book “I Love To Watch You Play.”
A part-time teacher, writer and passionate traveler, Beanie says that every time she returns from an overseas trip and catches a glimpse of a community baseball field from her airplane seat, she gets a warm feeling inside. “It’s so exquisitely American and tells me I’m home.”
“Baseball is an endeavor that makes adults out of kids and then back again,” she asserts. “And perhaps that’s the secret to lifelong happiness.”
Beanie currently lives in National Harbor, Maryland with her high school sweetheart of 42 years and approximately 60 feet 6 inches from each of her three accomplished adult children.
