I'm just not interested in the merry go round cash suckin douchebag infested world of kids organized sports.
I'll be happy to let them play but we won't have teams or uniforms or what not...just go outo to the sand lot and play pickup games. This is way better for the vast majority of kids and way more fun.

I played a shite-ton of sandlot ball back in the day.
If I had been in organized sports, I'd have probably gone pro.
In something other than sports.

Your boy will never make it to the Majors without a solid travel ball foundation, baw.

Kids play pickup games? I can't see that happening often in today's world.

You're not going to have a giant baseball sticker with your son's name and # on your car then.

You're retarded.
My son just started his 3rd season of baseball. Pick a city/parish league and sign up. Besides registration and some basic equipment, it's not expensive. My son has same bat and helmet for 3rd year in a row now. Registration was like $60 and covers the whole season. $25 cleats and $20 pants and $10 belt.
Not every organized league is like travel ball or some shite where they pay every tournament.
You're a tard.

The problem is they can't start playing sandlot ball without supervision until they're like 12 years old because CPS.

Is this the 1960's?

Good luck getting a participation trophy playing sandlot ball, baw.

Only league I'll let my kid play in is 3 v 3 baseball.
If there ain't ghost runners, my kid won't be playing.

Thanks for the nostalgic gut punch. I remember playing baseball, football, dirt clod wars, BB gun wars, smear the queer, and any random arse shite we could come up with in an empty lot. Childhood was the titties.

Where is your kid going to find 17 other kids who all want to play baseball at the same time on a regular basis.
Basketball or tennis is about the only sport where you can meet just meet an play pickup.
Football and baseball require too many people.
If he wants to play baseball you're going to have to pay for him to be surrounded by douchebaggery.

Basketball is the most common pick up sport for kids. Nobody plays pick up baseball.
eta: and what's wrong with the local rec league? they typically aren't that douchey or expensive.

I feel sorry for your kids.
You should let a real man raise them.
I bet your wife has a bigger dick than you do.

First, you should never "push" your kid into anything like this. Then it's more for you than it is for them.
Second, if there is a lot and the kids want to play on it more power to them. (We bought one of the last empty lots in our subdivision which had been used for lots of pick up sports by the younger kids and I kinda felt bad about taking that away from them - but it wouldn't have held them as they grew anyway and they all had a ball anyway playing kick the can, hide and tossing footballs and baseballs around).
Third, as someone up thread said, go rec ball. If you have a well or even decently run rec department it gives the benefits of organization without the drawbacks of people and companies in it to make money. Rec ball is not really expensive - here it was like 25 bucks and included a shirt, a cap (it's been awhile but it may have even included the pants). Each team generally has a few bats and has catcher's equipment. Pretty much everyone can afford it. And the kids enjoy playing with and against their friends at a nice shady ball park.
