A Pennsylvania Little League district shouldn't have a team called the "Astros" anyway. There are no NASA facilities in Pennsylvania.

My Dixie Youth team in South Louisiana was called the "Mets." There was nothing "metropolitan" about where I grew up. And my dad once coached a team called the "Phillies." That made absolutely no freaking sense.

Newsflash: Kids like pretending they're major league ball players. All of the team names where I played growing up were pro team names and uniforms with logos and everything. The only time that wasn't the case was in the first year of senior ball where it was only 13 year olds all the teams were minor league teams.

When I grew up, the Mets were trash. Lee Mazzilli was their best player.

I wouldn’t want my kid wearing a shirt that represents no integrity. I hope every Astros player gets hit by a ball and there’s a lot of hard slides into second base. They will be booed at every away game. With the reaction from around the sports world, it’s not a matter of if, but when that title is taken away. I also read on Twitter people were threatening to beat up Astros fans in the parking lot.

All 3 teams have minor league A teams in South Carolina.

The Greenville A team is affiliated with Boston
Columbia's A team is with the Mets
Charleston's A team is with the Yankees

It's between you and Hester Carries for angriest poster. You also seem to have lost a bit of sanity.

okay so? I'm from Charlotte, that's got nothing to do with a bunch of people who claim they hate the north so much being front runners and rooting the Yankees or Red Sox

“Hey, look at us, we need attention.”

Another lowest-common-denominator story. No surprise the OP would post it.

Why do all of the people with Missouri logos on these boards suck? Do we have one decent Missouri poster among these boards? Every other SEC school has a few decent posters except Missouri.
