re: Legendary youth baseball coach lays the smack down on travel ball

My uncle has 2 of his kids in baseball, and it's fricking annoying how they're always cutting out of family get-togethers no matter how significant they are.

Sister's wedding? See ya, we got a game.
Family member in the hospital? Well we don't have a game next wednesday so we'll stop by and see them if they're still alive.

I've lost so much respect for this person in the last few years.
