Travel ball mom, “Pick a day on the calendar and donate that amount.”

I know this board has some travel ball dads that wear cargo shorts, pot belly with the short sleeve windbreaker, visor and Oakleys with the strap, I just need one of y'all to answer this question

Why does every single damn tournament every weekend have a big arse ring like they just won the Superbowl? Who is paying for that stuff? Are we talking cracker jack rings? Or are you dishing out 200 a week for another ring?

I wouldn't call this begging and I'll buy a raffle ticket on occasion to support this (particularly if I'm interested in the prize). However, I do see where some travel ball parents simply want you to donate money. THAT'S begging.

The worst is asking for straight donations.. make them work for it at least


Local high schools have started doing this. Just straight up asking for money. There at least used to be raffle giveaway packages.

I told this story on here before, but I used to work with a guy who, when he wasn't working on something, would be on the phone talking travel baseball. It was an open floorplan with offices around the outside so you could hear everyone if they left their door open and did.

This dude used to complain because they would get a team together to go play out of state and evidently there were kids whose parents told them they were not paying that amount of money for them to go play in a tournament. They would have kids whose parents were willing to play but the kids they wanted were better so they would pay for these kids then complain about how much money they spend.

One day he decides to do a raffle to raise money because they decided to open up an account and raise money so they can have it to help pay for kids who couldn't afford to play. That's how he sold it, but everyone could hear him everyday and he sold 0 raffle tickets at work. Dude was pissed and was sort of standoffish for about a week,
