I was playing right field in little league. Season championships. A ball fell very near the line. So, the umpires allowed ME to determine whether it was in. I declared it just outside the line.

Howls of hate eminated from the opposing teams parents. I felt I would be burned at the stake and would need protection. I thought I was doing the right thing. As it turns out, there was no right thing, for all involved. That I, a child was placed in that position, was not fair. Leadership often is not fair.
