Watching my first Rec Baseball game in years

I was told Rec ball doesn’t exist so I can only assume you’re lying.

He’s ineligible due to grades to play HS lol he’s ballin’ though - 2 - 2 , 2 RBIs and 2 SB lol

Well if the son had made the HS team then you would have realized they cheer and chant, as well.

I wish there was rec ball here for 14-15 year olds who just want to play and have fun.

Probably 10 years maybe?

All I know is that when I was that age.. singing songs and chants in the dougout was unheard of. Pretty fricking gay

Since when did baseball players start doing cheers and chants in the Dugout

70’s or 80’s.

The coach(also referred to as dad) was too busy telling me and my friends we couldn’t catch our asses with both hands and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Made us men, and there was no singing.

I first started travel ball at 9 I think, and we were just a little neighborhood team. Usually just 10 of us. This was around 1999.

Teams did wild cheers then. Nearly all of them. Moms brought huge speakers and had choreographed chants and shite for different situations that they’d start with music and the kids would keep it going.

I think our team was the only one that didn’t chant shite. Our coaches were fun as hell but didn’t put up with chanting like that. When I got picked up by Chet Lemon’s Juice there was DEFINITELY no chanting then. But it was everywhere in the late 90s.

When did you play?

9 year olds? Sure but not 15 year olds

It was still prevalent with those older age groups too.

How serious of a league did you play in?
