re: If the travel baller in your life has a birthday coming up

Why does travel ball always get so much hate on this site? Almost every sport has a version of it now....and it really all started with soccer. Flag football, soccer, AAU basketball, golf, baseball (of course) all do it.

FWIW I get it. It's not necessary to fly around the country playing the best competition at 8 years old. My question is why is all the hated directed towards only baseball?

Got mine a free ride for 4 years.

Unfortunately it has taken him 5yrs of schooling and he finally graduates 5/3 of this year with a degree in Civil Engineering.

6/8 he starts his big boy job and we officially cut him from our payroll.

Im not going to know what to do with the extra influx of money but I'll figure it out.
