You aren’t alone friend.

Last year I got a 6 year old thrown out at 3b to lose the championship game. That kid also happened to be my son, and the sadness and disappointment in his eyes is something that took me weeks to shake. Didn’t sleep a wink for 2-3 nights.

Bet your kid was all over it before he even finished his post game snowball.
You should have been, too.

If he was a "thrown out" at third base that was a heck of a play by the other team's players. My experience with coaching 6 year old players is the ball either sails over the third baseman or hits him in the face because he is not capable of catching the perfect throw from young Braxton ( who has been groomed to be a star by dad since he could walk).

The most important lesson kids learn in sports is a failure is not the end of the world. They learn to keep working towards success. Baseball is the best sport to learn this also because its usually 60% failure and 40% success.
