50 Years Ago Tonight

"THE BIRD IS THE WORD"

June 28, 1976

A national television audience catches its first glimpse of the Detroit #Tigers' quirky, enigmatic rookie pitching phenom — Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.

The American League's eventual 1976 Rookie of the Year, Fidrych scatters seven hits en route to a 5-1 complete-game victory over the Yankees on ABC's "Monday Night Baseball" from Tiger Stadium.

"The Bird" runs his record to a gaudy 8-1 with an sparkling 2.05 ERA.

He would be tabbed as the AL's starting pitcher for the All-Star Game two weeks later — only the second rookie ever to earn that honor.

(Bob Prince, Bob Uecker, and Warner Wolf on the call for ABC Sports)

Parents learn how to get out of the way and stay out of the way when your kid is playing. It actually inhibits success when you are coaching or yelling instructions from the stands. Growth happens with failure… as uncomfortable as that makes us as a parent.

Once we recognize this, we can be intentional about remaining silent when it comes to instructing, but verbal when it comes to positive encouragement. And encourage all players.

It lets your kid know that everyone on their team is important and that you care about team successes. This is fundamental in creating a team concept in your child.
