Alot of things need to be changed in American Legion Baseball to keep it the best baseball program in the state of North Carolina. Alot of bad things took place this off season and during the season. Here is a list of things that took place this year that hurt Legion baseball in this state.

1. Garner was stripped of the state title 6 months after the state tournament.
2. Calwell County AD suspended for protesting against Garner to the National level.
3. executive Baseball committee voted against Western Forsyth post 522 from having a legion team due to destroying other programs in that area. was overruled by Gaither Keener The north Carolina American legion attorney who is a member of Harold B Jarrett Legion post in Salisbury.

4. Area 2 commisioner resighns.

5. Shelby and Garner assistant coaches get into altercation in an early season game Garner accused Shelby of helping Caldwell County with protest against garner.

6. South Rowan did not make playoffs when Area 3 commisioner Bob Beeson screwed up his own tie breaking rule. giving his team North Wilkesboro the 8 seed for the playoffs

7.Rowan County was disqualified for an illegal player after winning 1st round of state playoffs..

Quit crying!! Homerun 4

I wish you would quit crying on what happened this year to your Mocksville/Davie Legion program and quit putting the blame on Western Forsyth. You did this to yourself!!! If it wasn't for your Junior Legion coach, this would not have been a problem. It seemed to me that both of your teams did well this year so quit the moaning.

Go Western!!

raleigh devil CAN YOU GET A LIFE!!! FOR SOME ONE WHO TALKS ABOUT BASEBALL RULES, FOR NOW OVER A YEAR..YOU DONT KNOW JACK... YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT U KNOW. HAVE YOU EVERY PLAYED, NO NO NO NO. I KNOW U... U ARE A SCORE KEEPER... THAT HAD TO DRIVE FROM RALEIGH TO WAYNE CO EVERY DAY TO FIND A TEAM THAT WOULD USE U.ALL LAST YEAR U TALKED ABOUT GARNER AND WHAT THEY DID WRONG AND HOW IT HURT LEGION BASEBALL. GARNER KICKED YOUR TEAMS BUTT AND NOW I 'M GALD U HAVE PITT CO OVER THERE, SO U WILL HAVE SOME ONE ELSE KICKING YOUR BUTT..AND MAYBE U WILL GET OFF GARNER'S.
FACTS U DONT KNOW!!!!!!
1. LEIF BAKER LIVES 2.5 MILES FROM GARNER HIGH SCHOOL. IN A HOUSE OWNED BY HIS FATHER, THAT HIS SONS LIVE IN... HE STAY ONCE IN AWHILE. AND PLANNING TO MOVING TO RALEIGH AREA AND STILL IS IF HIS HOUSE WILL SALE...
2. DR. BAKER(YES THAT IS DOCTOR BAKER) LEIF'S FATHER WORKS IN RALEIGH SOME TIMES...
3. LEIF BAKER PLAYED FOR 2 YEARS WITH GARNER 232 AND LIVED IN GARNER AND STILL LIVES THERE WENT NOT IN SCHOOL... AND CAME TO GAMES THIS SUMMER..
4. LEIF BAKER WAS GARNER'S #4 PITCHER THAT HAD A GREAT GAME....BUT I DID NOT SEE ARE HEAR ANY D1, D2, D3 SCHOOLS OR PRO TEAM PICKING HIM UP...
5. COACH BARBOUR GOT ALL PAPERWORK SIGNED BY LEIF AND FATHER AND THEN GAVE IT TO THE AD TO PASS UP TO BE CHECKED OUT.
6. OLD AREA 1 AND NEW AREA 1 OFFICALS LOOKED AT IT AND CHECKED IT OUT.. AND SAID HE WAS OK TO PLAY..
7. LEIF BAKER'S NAME CAME UP AT LAST YEAR A.L.B.STATE GAMES AND WAS OK TO PLAYED THEN. ALONG WITH OTHERS FROM GARNER'S TEAM AND OTHER TEAMS(BY ROY WATERS, BILL MURRY ECT..)
8. GARNER DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO TELL GARNER'S SIDE AND YOU HAVE NOT SEEN A POST, UNTIL NOW FROM A GARNER FAMILY MEMBER OR COACH. SO YOU ONLY KNOW ONE SIDE OF THE STORY, ISNT IT FUNNY THAT GARNER WAS NOT ON THESE BOARDS MAKING A POST.. WE UNDERSTAND WHO WE ARE FIGHT AND KNOW WE CAN NOT WIN IN GOOD OLD BOY BASEBALL.. SO THE BEST THING TO DO IS LET IT GO...
9. THE RULES ALSO TALK ABOUT A $100 PROTEST FEE WITH THE PROTEST IN THE RALEIGH MEETING BILL MURRY PAYED IT OUT OF HIS POCKET. 7 MOUTHS AFTER THE GAMES AND 1.5 MOUTHS AFTER THE PROTEST.. THE PROTEST WAS NOT FILED RIGHT. AND NO STATE RULE ON HOW LONG OF TIME AFTER YOU CAN FILE A PROTEST IN PLACE, SO YOU GO TO THE NATIONAL RULE... READ IT.... THAT IS AN EYE OPENER.
10. WHY DIDNT GARNER CARRY IT TO THE NATIONAL OFFICALS, ROY WATERS ASKED US NOT TO BECAUSE, WE N.C.A.L.B AT THAT TIME WERE TRYING TO GET A NATIONAL EVENTS HERE IN OUR STATE. HE SAID WE DID NOT NEED A BLACK EYE IN AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.. SO WE DROPPED IT..
11. AND I CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON...
I SAY ALL THIS TO COME BY TO YOUR ABOVE REMARKS, CALDWELL HAD A GREAT TEAM, GARNER DID TOO. THE GAME WAS PLAYED AND GARNER WON.. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER GOOD OLD BOYS A.L.B. OFFICALS SAID GARNER WERE NOT CHAMPS... BUT THE RINGS ARE NICE, THE JACKETS WEAR GOOD AND WE STILL HAVE THAT BIG PICK OF BRASS AND WOOD AND LEIF BAKER IS STILL MVP
AND THAT IS ALL IT IS... AND IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE... IF U WRITE 10,000 POST LET IT GO... LAST YEARS NEWS.. TALK ABOUT SHELBY GETTING SCREWED THIS YEAR IN THE RAIN OUT AND BILL MURRY SITTING IN THE PRESS BOX AND NOT HELPING SHELBY... AND CALDWELL HAVING A GREAT TEAM PLAYING GOOD ALL YEAR AND JUST DID NOT GET IT TOGETHEIR FOR THE PLAY-OFFS. CHERRYVILLE PLAYING LIKE MAD AND WINNING, ROWAN NOT LEARNING FROM GARNER LAST YEAR( AND NOT GETTING IT IN WRITING FROM ROY) AREA 3 DOING OUTSTANDING, THE MORTON KID, WAYNE CO HAVING A GOOD SCORE KEEPER THAT DONT KNOW A THING ABOUT BASEBALL BUT IS A GOOD SCORE KEEPER...
SO LET IT GO, GET A LIFE, BEFORE YOUR COMPUTER LOCKS UP AND YOU PASS OUT FROM A BRAIN FART.......
PS1.. OTHERS SORRY YOU HAD TO READ THIS TO GET TO THE NEXT POST..
PS2..GREAT JOB TO ALL THE TEAMS IN THE STATE PLAY-OFFS AND PLEASE LET THE PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME NOT THE SCORE KEEPERS.......
GREAT JOB PITT, GOOD LUCK AND MAKE US LOOK GOOD....
