Minimum Standards

I'm familiar with a phrase "minimum standards" because it was used by the Feds to measure one's qualifications for the job I used to have. In the past I have railed against celebrities and other people whose assignment was to throw out the first pitch at a ballgame. When one or another of these bush leaguers goes to the mound (not really the mound - they let them throw from about 40') and bounces the ball to the plate before a game, it really grinds me. I actually had a chance to accuse a radio DJ of a poor effort at a Tigers game this year when he walked by my seat laughing because his toss landed 10' in front of the plate. A 30' throw? He was a grown ass man!  Well anyway, today at Zachary Taylor Beach 4 young men brought out a frisbee. And you should have seen these yoyos try to fly a frisbee to one another. I'm thinking, "You're coming to a world class destination (Key West) with no skills - none whatsoever." It was embarrassing for me and hundreds of beach goers to watch. Bottom line is don't go to throw out the first pitch without preparing and don't come to Key West to practice your frisbee toss. Practice first! Need lessons? Contact my brother, Gary, one of the best I ever saw. But we're not talking about being great, just adequate. Be able to get the ball to the plate and be able to fly a frisbee to your friend. There have to be minimum standards for these things!
