Seventeen Inches Rule
Retired baseball coach John Scolinos once spoke at the American Baseball Coaches Association.  He came out wearing a home plate around his neck.  Attendees seemed to question, “Who is this guy?”He asked them, “How wide is the little league home plate?”   The answer was 17 inches.  He then repeated the question for high school, college and professional baseball, and the answer was the same. “That’s right” he said.  “Seventeen inches.  And what happens if a pitcher can’t throw over those seventeen inches?  Do we widen the plate to 18 or 20 inches to make it easier for them?”  “No” he continued, “We hold them accountable. We don’t widen the plate.”Coach Scolinos used home plate as a metaphor for life.  It was about accountability and the importance of maintaining standards in all areas of life.  Family. Education. Leadership. Scolinos emphasized that when we lower standards, or avoid consequences, we compromise not only ourselves, but also the institutions and values we hold dear.
