Congrats, that's gotta be unreal for those kids.
Who is your Osborne, Alvey, and Peanut?

So you are saying you can't mash?We built the team around pitching and defense. We gave up 5 runs in the State Tournament. 4 runs in the District.
We built my Little League team around whoever lived in the neighborhood.
Great GM’ing, 73.
Juanton moved away, but he was so good he wouldn't have time for your basic rec league stuff. Travel ball only in those parts.What about JUANTON? How'd he do?
-Willy you will hate coaching soccer. You will spend every practice on 1v1 drills that do nothing for a 6 kid pile up because they refuse to also teach the game.....spacing and passing.
Pretty sure Willy, with his soccer star wife as a consultant, can handle it. Stick to not kissing your wife and shit posts, Krazy.

I'm not taking up for anyone.
You're filler, bruh. I'm sick of reading your shit and I'm not gonna have it when roundball rolls around and we're sawing up people. Summer GYERO gave you misguided confidence to POST OFTEN!!@@! but shit has ran its course.
Time to pump the brakes, gaffot.
Don’t misunderstand - our rec league takes precedence over our travel team. I’m just pointing out most don’t. Especially an organization like the Sting. They laugh at us for playing rec league (mainly because we are a borderline Major team and they think we should go straight travel to take that next step).-Got a buddy who’s son is pretty good and I knew he played St Matthews so I sent him a congrats text.....dude had the same attitude has ^ because his son is travel ball only......what a damn joke.
Kids get CTE more often from soccer than they do football, so congrats on being bad parents.
You can teach your kid to mash and make his entire state proud by winning the LLWS, or you can give him CTE. Your choice.

I’ve heard lots of coaches and parents make snide remarks at travel tourneys when they find out we also play rec league.
EVERY travel/club team is out there winning tournaments/shootouts/classics etc. every weekend. Seems like that’s more of the participation trophy culture nowadays.
Exactly. Last year my kid pitched the 9U state title game (they won and he came out after 5 complete innings up 7-1) and he can almost recount each batter he faced in that game. Now he loves travel ball, too, but knows win or lose they'll just play in another tourney in a weekend or 2.Count me in a pro rec league (little league) just for the community aspect. Winning a Little League or Cal Ripken district, state or regional title means more than some random tournament in Noblesville, Indiana, Branson, Missouri or god forsaken Nicholasville. Harris' kid last year and '73's kid this year will remember winning a state Little League title the rest of their lives.
I've been on both sides of it. The Little League tournament games were far more intense and meant more.
You've failed as a parent imoMy kid plays 9U travel ball with kids that are all in the same school and they are about .500 on the year. He has fun with his friends and enjoys the game and blue raspberry slushes between games. I doubt he ever plays high school baseball. The end.
Honestly, it's more for college scholarships for most parents, I think. Still a pipe dream but less of one.At what point do 99% of parents reflect back on all that time, money, and effort wasted on their kids once blossoming athletic career than never materialized into professional millions and think....
…..wow. That was stupid.
Later in life? 60s? When their kids are full grown? Never??
