    MLB - Sandlot ball going the way of wooden bats
It won't let me copy and paste. If linking is a problem, you can take this down. Article basically talks about how sandlot ball has gone extinct, and the benefits of league ball vs. unrestricted sandlot play. Just from personal experience... I know when I was growing up, by the time I was thirteen I had dropped out of every park district league I was a part of for the time being. I couldn't handle the politics of baseball... the coaches kids, the park directors, etc. Just the way some of those things are takes a lot of the fun out of them. I had no desire to play high school ball, or baseball in general and didn't for 2 or 3 more years... This article makes some really good points, and it's a shame that baseball isn't a sport for kids to just go out and have fun with anymore. Atleast we have OOTP.  S3SL Oakland A's TSSL Sanfrancisco Giants TPSL v. 1 Chicago Cubs TPSL v. 2 Los Angeles Dodgers Brady Poppinga is my new name. Please refer to me as Brady Poppinga from now on. I would prefer to be called Brady Poppinga opposed to Nick from here on out. Please call me Brady Poppinga. Thanks. - Brady Poppinga resistriseabove: i called up royce ring, lmfao Roscoe the Pride: royce da 5.09 ERA |

The MLB has come up with the RBI program, trying to bring baseball to the inner-city kids.
It was a good read, though. Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.  SBSL: Minnesota Motorboaters (2010-Present) (Formerly the 2008-2009 CSSL Minnesota Motorboaters) TSSL: Pittsburgh Pirates (2019-Present) 2019 NL Wild Card Winner My Space |
