You can't be serious. Go pull the roster of the Louisiana team and do a name search on USSSA Fastpitch....I will wager a large sum of money they are all travel ball players and the majority of them play on the same team


Your reading comprehension is not strong. I didn't say the kids on the Louisiana team did not play travel ball. I even said, a large majority of them may play together.

I am 10000% sure that Oklahoma team plays together year round, as a whole.

I am 10000% sure that the Louisiana team does not....as a whole.

The Louisiana team is not a travel ball team.


What you decided to quote.

Or at least not in the way the OU team was. Now they may have some kids who played travel ball together. But I can 100% promise you that Louisian team did not ALL play travel ball together and just insert themselves into LL all stars.


The rest of what i said.

Do better....

So the LA LLWS team with 9 girls from a single Class A 12u travel team that played 50 games in USSSA tournaments (not including FASA or other organizations) didn't play year round.?

How would you like me to do better?

Saw this morning that Ascension Parish won the Boys Little League State. Beat talented Eastbank and Lafayette teams. Saw they have Tulsa boys in Waco in their bracket!

You would think people would be winning millions of dollars if victorious through the tournament

All it is going to take is one player’s family making an accusation about why this happened and it will be reversed.

If the family would allege discrimination the decision would be reversed. Just my opinion.

I don't know facts, but knowing a bit about the team, this is sort of an educated guess.



Educated guess? LOL oh ok.

Just because you follow travel ball softball does not make you an expert cowboy.

So, there are rules in sports that if you don't follow will get your kicked out, but we as a nation don't have rules for voter ID laws? That makes sense.



Yep make it make sense.

Crazy how people still do this. I coached a Dixie all star team this summer and the amount of paperwork and affidavits is staggering. I had to carry a binder with birth certificates, player photos, attested addresses, and medical waivers to every tournament game.




It's been that way for the last 20-30 years

Youth sports has changed tremendously in the last 40 yrs. The “travel” circuit for all sports is a HUGE business. Little League tries to come across that is so much about love of the game and such but it’s has a substantial TV contract with a major network so I’m sure they are all in on getting the best players to play.

That being said, all these teams are hand picked from large areas and not just a bunch of neighborhood kids who just started playing together like The Sandlot. If rules are broken then they should disqualify but it is kind of disingenuous when teams complain about hand picked teams that break the rules when they are also hand picked teams.
