We’re in a 12U tournament this weekend. Last Wednesday my son tested positive for covid, a little under the weather but nothing major. 

Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to play this weekend if we told his coach about the test, my son asked me if we could just keep it quiet so he could play.


This is happening a lot more than people will acknowledge. My daughter (don't EVEN ask for pics) plays high school volleyball. The girls, parents and coaches are so competitive, there is a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
After the team got beat in the first round of the state playoffs, the entire team practically admitted to having Covid symptoms at some point during the season.

I lol’d at Tulane.

I wonder if we will be around long enough for antiquetiger to start making a killing off of these rings from garage sales?

Congrats on winning a C level tourney with a bunch of 13yo that aged up in time to still qualify to play as 12U.

This ring crap may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen happen to little league ball. Things must be made of foil.


Much cheaper than a trophy or plaque.

Definitely cheaper than caps or other merchandise

Now that the mullet has really taken travel ball by storm as the haircut of champions, you really can spot the travel ball family from far away.

The rings are cheaper than trophies and are made in third world countries by kids their same age.

Would it be too intrusive to ask how the tournament fits the champions for their rings? Do they have a jeweler on site fitting and doing alterations on rings or do they have a giant vault of variously sized rings ready for any sized fingers? What are the rings’ composition?


Friend,

When you were a wee lad, did Mother allow you to eat Cracker Jack? Do you know those rings?? Same concept.

It’s basketball season. Why is your son playing travel baseball???

Go play some different sports. This year round travel ball stuff is awful.

Friend,

I would love to read a "top 10 trophies from middle school volleyball" thread.

Yours,

I think the lack of huge championship rings for little league baseball really held me back in life.
