re: Tournament Baseball is a scam

When we played all stars, no one threw that shite either. Every now and then a side armer... but everyone just got up there threw gas and attempted (not very well) to locate.

I am 39 and they didnt even have allstars for Little League til I was 11, and only 12 year olds could be on the team

Kids are way too overworked. My daughter was anaverage player, and was placed on an "All Star" team, she begged to not do it, I was sooooo happy to call and let them know we were going to spend the rest of our summer on the lake.

Parents are absolutely out of control. It really isnt the kids, hell if I was placed on a pedastal I would be a little shite too.

Back to the premise of the thread, it is all a scam, there are not that many elite athletes in these towns. And even if they were the reason they are dominating has more to do with development than coaching. You cant differentiate good from gifted players till a much later age.
