Or I’ll ban you from ever playing an OTC event if you argue with the umpires.

Dude has the education of a 3rd grader. I’m pretty sure he’s legit illiterate

Everybody gets a ring.. Seriously, I read that in 2019 there were over 200 travel ball world series.

The funny thing about intense travel ball parents is that their kids frequently don’t play beyond grade school.

Either the kids get burned out, or their parents’ money and private lessons can only take them so far.

You really want to see a dumpster fire go to the GSSA tournaments on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. That’s where you will see biggest money grab there is around

You’re okay with banning an entire team from playing in your events because of some dads or daddy ball coaches?

Yeah punish the kids for some shite they have no control over.

Dustin thinks he’s some sort of dictator

I know teams that refuse to play OTC because he’s such a piece of shite.

Parents now bring Bluetooth speakers to games and blast this loud enough for everyone to hear.

Dude about five years ago I went to a travel ball game in Alexandria and one team had some parents that brought a speaker and would play "Turn Down for What" between every fricking inning.

No, you can't even go to the park and play some baseball with your kid even when the fields aren't being used. All because travel ball jaxxons need MLB quality fields to be maintained for them. It's stupid. It's a fricking park.

I hate travel ball, but I’m in the minority. Poor kids with talent never get developed and move to other sports that don’t require a rich parent. And yes I know some teams will sponsor a poor kid, but it’s not enough and you cannot tell which kid will develop at young ages.

Don’t those poor kids go to schools?

Some of the best talent out of Nola comes out of public schools

Beyond my better judgement, we went to Gulf Shores for a USSSA so-called World Series tournament back in 2016. That might have been the most miserable week of my life. None of these parents truly stood out and we couldn’t determine which states had the trashiest baseball parents between some of the Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, or Texas teams. Five years later my wife still senses that I am pissed for letting her talk me into not skipping that POS money grab event.
