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

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?

One of my most favorite memories was we were 10 and we played this team from Whitehaven in south Memphis at the new ballpark at Snowden grove in Southaven right when it first opened . (none of the kids in the team were white) and they were rapping DMX in the dugout and it was a nice introduction to the culture
