The Parents

If the other parents are a bunch of self absorbed, delusional PITAs,

it is going to be a miserable experience for you. Just plan on planting

yourself in a lawn chair down the foul line and keeping to yourself.



The Cost

Some delusional parents justify spending obscene amounts on their

kid’s baseball as the price they must pay to help their kid get a college

baseball scholarship. I have some ENRON stock I would like to sell them!

Even if you could buy your way to a college baseball scholarship, under

the new NCAA rules each scholarship will be a 1/3. That means he will be

lucky to get $25K over four years. Yet parents are spending more than that

on their son’s baseball experience before they reach puberty!



I’m not against select/travel baseball. I brought select/travel baseball to

TEXAS but look before you leap. Don’t just swallow the Kool-Aid and follow

the Jones. Any situation may or may not be right for your son, you and your family.
