Coach drops bucket of softballs down hill and road

Phil Stilton

If you coach sports, you know the drill. You open the trunk of your SUV and equipment just falls out. Even on a flat surface, a bucket of balls is a nusiance, especially if you’re running late for a practice or game. For this San Carlos, California coach, it was a nightmare. His entire bucket of softballs ended up on the road at the bottom of the hill in front of his house, in moving traffic. We feel your pain coach.

“I coach my daughter’s softball team and I was getting ready for practice,” the coach said. ” I usually back into my driveway but this time I pulled in forward and when I opened the back tailgate, the entire bucket of practice balls fell out and spilled down a long driveway and then down a quarter-mile road that I live on.”

The coach then drove down the road picking up softballs and a man walking his dog said to him, “I figured the explanation would come soon!”
