    Build it and they will come?

    Weekend passes will be sold. USA Baseball Complex is an expensive place to hold a tournament albeit a fabulous venue.

    Its worth it to me

    Yes the concession stand is very expensive thats why I just drink water and eat before I get there. You will not find a better place to watch multiple games. And the fields are top notch to say the least. I will see you Saturday Stretchy. It should be alot of fun.

    USA Baseball Complex is an incredible venue, no doubt. Amazing how every field is immaculate. The facility as a whole is very well maintained and manicured. It is definately a show piece. And the way the fields are set up, great views as a fan. (FYI, $4 drink was a big ol' drink too). I sure hope the players appreciate the opportunity to play there when they do!

    Good luck with things over there this weekend, Stretch.

    Only time I was able to recognize you this weekend Coach27 was when you were in game mode, on the field. Hope to catch up with you later...

    I saw you

    up there hanging out with some very questionable folks Diesel. The USA complex is an outstanding place to play. It amazes me how lucky these kids are today to be able to play on these types of fields. Like Diesel said I hope they appreciate it.

    it's a long way... and many years... from when we played with chicken wire backstops, dirt infields and no out field fences!

    Help wanted

    Would anyone like to run a scoreboard or do the PA announcing on any of the fields on any of the days?

    9 hour drive

    How cool is it that the Moosic Mets just called and are in Maryland on the way down from Pennsylvania to play in this event. The players are excited to get to play at the USA Olympic Complex and are primed to try and win this tournament. Now if I could only get Braves to come and give a big TBR welcome that would be even cooler!!
