It really is kind of sad what's happened to rec league baseball. I went out to watch a young cousin of mine recently and it was just terrible. They're even having to play games against teams at other parks because they don't have enough teams signed up.

Around here they combined 8 to 12-year-old kids because they don't have enough. So many kids play on travel ball teams it has ruined it for everyone else. They used to have 6 teams and now down to two each with 12 or 13 kids

We have probably the strongest one in the state or close to it. Tons of teams, good competition but there are still those teams that you play where it's just batting practice and that turns teams off.

If you had a draft you could eliminate a lot of that, but no one wants to bite the bullet for the good of the league. They want to keep their teams together for tournaments and to control all-stars.
