This was a letter that was written by the Dixie Softball President recently:
It is softball leagues like West Stanly,N.C. who are the backbone of Dixie Softball.A league built on community ball and not yet contaminated by that scourge of youth sports,travel ball.
While at the Darlings World Series I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at a lake house furnished by the Effird family of West Stanly.Arnold King,Darlings Commissioner,Gordon Hobbs,DSI Vice President-Emeritus and Preston Leonard,DSI Vice President also stayed at the lake house.While fishing during the day before the games started we made acquaintance with a construction crew who were building a boat house next to the lake house we were staying in.
One of the men of the construction crew had a granddaughter who was participating in a softball tournament being played in Charlotte, North Carolina. How the tournament begins and ends is crazy in my opinion. Teams arrive and play a couple of days of meaningless games. Then they play the real tournament in a series of games unlike the way Dixie Softball playes its tournaments.
The grandfather told me that he was disappointed that at the tournament in Charlotte the girls were not introduced at an opening ceremony and were not treated with the special treatment that the Dixie girls received at the Darlings World Series. As you can read in the article written by Jim Lisk of THE STANLY NEWS & PRESS all the players and coaches are showcased at the opening ceremony and if not introduced individually at the ceremony (most Dixie World Series introduce all players and coaches at opeing ceremonies)they are individually introduced before the ball games begin.
The sad part about the grandfather's story was that his granddaughter could have had the honor of playing in the 2007 Dixie Darlings World Series and being treated with much fanfare and given royal treatment. I will have more to say about part of the story in another article and discuss the bad effects that travel ball is having on community sports and why, if communties do not nip travel ball in the bud, their community sports program will be overran and destroyed by the travel ball idiots of the world.

what a moran!!!!

" A league built on community ball and not yet contaminated by that scourge of youth sports, travel ball."

I would like to invite Mr.Obie Evans to witness our "scourge" on any given weekend. I know quite a few teams that would just love to contaminate him with the skills of the few, the proud, the travel ball players. They don't need a formal introduction, a pat on the back and all the fanfair BEFORE a tourny. Give them good competition, fair calls on the field and a win. They will be more than happy!!!

If he doesn't like that then he can stay at the lake house and fish all day!!!

 

That was funny. I needed a good laugh

 

AGREE

IT'S TOOOOOO FUNNY TO EVEN REPLY TO.

 

know the roots...

of Dixie softball or baseball.


not surprised!

 

All I have to say to that is....

Mr. Evans when community sports offers the same opportunities that travel ball offers, the rosters will fill up fast! And who are you calling idiots??? Idiot!!!!
