Legion Right move or not?

It would be good for Plate Dad to actually read his own posts before he clicks on the submit button.

 

Thanks I will keep that I mind. Oops.

 

Legion Baseball

Let me just say that I think that legion baseball is great. I wish every area had what you people in Caldwell County and other venues have. The fact is many areas do not have strong legion programs or legion programs at all. It would be nice if everyone had the same options and alot of them. But that just isn't the case. This thread and everyone like it should just come down to people doing what they feel is right for them. And then people respecting the rights of others to do just that.

 

You can always tell when the HS season is winding down. It's then that we get these debates. But I keep in mind that although we have covered these topics many times, there are many new posters that have discussed this the 1st time.

 

the areas with great programs didn't just happen. the people in these communities went to the trouble to make something special, to the benefit of players and fans alike. i know this board is for the players but i also think the value to the community should not be underestimated.

 

well said Moose...good job

 

Moose just hit on something when he said "great programs just didn't happen".

Maybe it would help folks better understand why I defend legion baseball so much because I "do know" firsthand the individuals responsible for making sure things get done, and I "do know" firsthand the businesses that each year come up with $$$ to make sure there is a team in my area. And all these folks do this without getting paid a dime, they just do it because they want to make sure there is a local team that the local boys are proud of.

And of course I realize we are fortunate in my area to have the support we have, because other areas don't have that support. I realize that, and I don't take anything for granted. For the newbies, just trying to explain why I may seem defensive.

Coach27 and CoachEvans, you guys have my respect, hopefully I have never said anything to make you think otherwise.

 

tj...you're the best. And you were the reason that I converted to a Legion baseballfan. If you ever decide to stop controlling the strings of your mayor and to become one...you have my vote

 

Thanks for the comments Braves, one day I may need that vote.

Btw, I sure wish I could remember whatever it was I said to you way back when and be smart enough to bottle it,,,,,, because obviously it hasn't worked with everyone.

 

Alot of it are dads living vicariously through jr.
