In 5-6 year baseball dealing with parents is at least 1 billion times harder than dealing with the kids. That is all

Yep. We just finished up ourb7yo season. So far we've mostly had great parents and coaches to deal with, but the stories I've heard from coaches is just mind-boggling and sad. Apparently it gets really cut-throat and clickish when it comes to the post-season "All Star" travel teams.

I hear stories about back stabbing, parents trying to run coaches or other players/parents off, parents trying to organize a mutiny and take over teams.....it is unreal that people get that wrapped up in it.

7 year olds, for crying out loud!

As awful as it may sound, I'm thankful GomerJr isnt quite good enough to make All Stars so that we don't have to deal with such nonsense.


There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

My oldest sons coach shook my hand after the last game and told me he nominated 4 names on our team for all stars. Said he nominated my son. I didn't tell him that I checked "no" on the registration form when it asked about interest in all stars. We aint getting into all of that. All i wanted is for my son to try hard and get a little better than he was last year. He did all of that but he's still only about 50/50 If he wants to continue so im not pushing any extra baseball on him.

I coached regular season and honestly it was the absolute best little league experience you could ask for. Now allstars has started and terrible is a gross understatement.

It only gets slightly better as they age too. The kids usually figure out that baseball is not their talent and want to quit before the parents figure it out.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

If the mom is hot, 257 wants her on his All Star team.

Don’t worry. Just teach them to throw, catch, and hit. Daddy ball is over about 13 years old. Most of the boys whos Dads played politics for them hate baseball by then and start playing lacrosse. In high school only the best play.


Hunting brings out the worst in people.

Parental prodding. You know parents often push kids to do things they have no interest in? Do you think those kids of those actresses really wanted to be transsexuals at such a early age?


Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

Oh come on. You don't like the fund raising? You don't like the parent that thinks their child is Ken Griffey Jr.? Lol.. I'm with you bud.

Make it fun for the kids and try to keep the moms happy. And communicate with your parents, the more the better.
