    Why would not the American Legion World Series be a popular event for TV?
    Think there's ever a chance of this? Just seems like a good fit.

    It irritates the snot out of me how some things are televised on ESPN (Poker?) compared to some things that SHOULD be televised there (Legion World Series for example).

    Oh well... Maybe one day.

    I can't believe that there is no interest from one of the sports networks in televising the A.L.W.S. I have to think that it's just a matter of getting everyone on the same page money-wise.

    ESPN is a business. It will broadcast whatever makes the most money.

    In the mid nineties, the parent company of ESPN put out a video of Micky Mouse and Santa in which the rodent* explained what Christmas was about. No mention of religion. Why? The tape was an effort to make money. Santa is a bigger moneymaker for business than that troublesome and controversial rabble rouser from Galilee.

    I digress, but you get my point.

    *No, UNC fans, not the one in Durham.:biggrin:

    Poker!...a sport?....

    ....sorry my man, poker is a game of cards. Uhhhh, can I say... get a life? Give me real sports like legion ball, and for that matter ESPN should S-can the so called LL fastpitch crap and replace it with talented TB teams competing across the US. I hope your next post includes something about rec ball hockey or seniors 9-ball.

    Nice comeback Solarte...

    ....geez brother, don't take it personal when a TBR member disagrees with something you post. If your interest lie in poker on espn, ok by me. I'll turn the channel. As for who I am as a parent, well lets just say I hope my DDs will be the best that they can be in whatever path they choose. I wish the best for your kids as well. peace. Marlin
