Social media happened. Mom can't brag on Facebook if little Brayden is hitting .035

Adults have ruined baseball for kids. There is little enjoyment of the game anymore. It’s become gymnastics for boys.

That's not the point. The point is I wanted to troll OP but I caught a jellyfish instead.

Try to find a well run rec league. If your son is good he will make “All Stars” and play until late July.

I am but you keep on throwing me junk. Btw, I was the Al Bundy of baseball. I was the league's MVP three years in a row and I have the trophies to back it up and no my dad wasn't the coach. Don't make me show them on here.

Well, it’s not the result we wanted, but Grayson got 3 doubles and scored the winning run in game 5 this weekend! SO PROUD OF THESE BOYS AND 2nd PLACE! On the the World Series in Biloxi next weekend. GO WILDCATS!

Travel ball killed it. Youth leagues suck because of it too. frick the Braxtons and Jaxxsons who will never make it and I hope the parents deal with the issues travel ball puts on kids.

The obsession with youth baseball on this board is amazing, most ball is not "travel" if you live in a decent size city or near one...it is "competitive" because lazy dad's like the ones in this thread don't play catch with their kids

Same with youth football. Some kids play for two teams at one time.

Now it seems they just like to cosplay like baseball players.
hockey players have mullets. Lacrosse players carry around their sticks. Basketball players wear long shorts and slides with socks. Nothing new here

when I was a teenager every football player looked like Jim McMahon LOL

What happened is true Little League barely exists anymore.

The amount of parents that don’t understand that if Brextynn is good enough, the Majors will find him, is shocking… And he probably won’t have a blown out elbow by the 9th grade.

Know a family like this. Their son looks like a total douche in all of their pictures on FB with his gold chain, and jersey shore looking sunglasses. He's on the Renegades. Of course he has the $500+ dollar Marucci bat, etc. He likes to say stuff is "Gucci" too. We're talking about a 12 yrs old white kid from a good family. Oh and he's 5'1". He's never gonna be a ball player.
It's just cringe
