re: Travel Baseball

then you better hope you son isnt good at baseball then because he will be left behind. College coaches would rather go to travel ball tournament and see 300-400 quality kids than to go to a high school game and watch only 1 or 2. college budgets are tight these days.

And that is the exact reason why I stated what I did earlier.

Everyone WANTS/NEEDS their kid to be the best in sports, therefore money can be had from that. What the hell happened to playing baseball for fun? If my son is good enough, he will be seen whereever he plays. If the only reason you want your child to play travel baseball is so that it is easier for a college coach to see him play, then YOU are the problem.

Too many parents think that their kid is going to be the next best thing, when in fact they are at best average. So in turn, they feel that wasting a shite ton of money to prove their point is neccessary.

If my son sucks at baseball, it will be because he sucks. Not because he was on a local team and not travel.
