- never make the FIRST out at third base
- never steal a base when your team is up by a ton of runs
- never show up a pitcher after you have connected for a home run
- if your star player gets hit with a pitch, their star player better get hit in his next at bat
- late innings, tight ball game.....NEVER walk the lead off hitter
- never take a pitcher who is cruising out of a game just because you pay a pitcher to be a "closer" (this rule is ignored far too often)
- if your on second, less than 2 outs, NEVER break for third on a ground ball to your RIGHT, always break on a ground ball to your LEFT.
these are some of the unwritten rules....

There are a couple of truths in baseball.
Don't make the third out on third base.
Always go on contact with 2 outs.
The Red Sox will always lose to the Yankees in any game that matters.
Notice the subtle language: The Red Sox will lose, not the Yankees will
always win. The Red Sox own blunders are more responsible for their demise
then any spectacular play on the part of the Yankees.
