Heeeyyyy, bootlicker.

First glance, I thought that said “Pottsylvania County” and wondered why he didn’t blame Moose and Squirrel…

There is no way to find out.

I like Beyonce and all but my issue isn’t with her but with the Beyhive. Whenever I hear someone say she’s overrated I respond with “the Beyhive and their standom is what overrates her. Even when she does a mediocre song they make it out to be the best thing in the world. I can’t jump on board with how they make her…

Someone doesn’t get it, alright.

Eh, it depends on where you live. I said this in another comment, but where I live travel ball is more of the norm than playing public/rec department leagues. So there’s a hierarchy of how competitive and talented even the travel ball teams are. My sons’ teams (12, 10, and 9) aren’t that competitive and don’t travel…

Pretty sure my first tee-ball league kept score. You got your name in paper if you balled out, and they made sure everybody got their name in the paper eventually regardless.

In 1998 my highly competitive 12u travel team went to Cooperstown for a big tournament. We lost to a team in the championship with a girl who was their best shortstop, best pitcher and best catcher. She hit 15 home runs that week, more than anyone else, and 2 off of us in the championship game. We intentionally walked…

As a kid, I wanted so badly to play baseball rather than softball, but my city league didn’t allow it. I’m fairly certain my sister and I would have been above average players in the league. We both were tall and strong and could hit in the fast-pitch batting cages. Our dad, uncles, and grandfathers were all baseball…

I wish I lived where you lived - where I’m at, the two (travel and rec) have been tied together by travel players parents also coaching rec ball, and stacking the all-star vote, even though the kids missed rec practice/games due to travel ball commitments, and didn’t have the stats some of the non-travel kids had. No…

Man, this was in the ‘70s- people didn’t even know from OBP- they thought (correctly) that I was being a “smart-ass”

I played catcher in fast pitch growing up and I remember it being written into the rules that catchers had to wear a cup,. It was the dumbest rule ever, I never wore one, I don’t think any of the other catchers wore one either, but I do remember several (male) umpires making comments about how they wouldn’t throw me…

To be fair...that sign lists every possible violation and it doesn’t say anything about sending a message high and tight.

Demerit Park indeed.

When I played little league, we had a girl on our team who was absolutely better than all of the boys in the entire league. I remember the only thing I was pissed about was that she didn’t have to wear a cup.

The Teach KY recruitment dinner that my place of work is catering tomorrow should be REAL interesting.
