Abstract
Baseball coachs spend most of their time teaching children how to hit, throw and run the bases. Many of them do not have the time to teach the stragedies of the game. MR. MANAGER is a card game that allows coach and parents to teach young players the difference between a safety squeeze and a suicide squeeze. Most little leaguers do not fully understand what a balk is or the difference between a wild pitch and a passed ball or how to execute the hit and run play. MR. MANAGER puts players in the middle of the game and makes them think about the best way of winning a game. It makes them feel like they are actually the manager.
