Better read my article tomorrow. Your $ figures are too low!

Look forward to the article. An umpire friend of mine and I were talking about "select ball" the other day and I was talking about how it is NOT "select" - unless you want to select by being able to afford.

He told me his grandson was playing the summer and they had spent already in excess of $3000 this year and still have fall season to go - ridiculous.

And I've called the league a few times (15-18's) - the local summer league has better ball and it costs $70 to play.

Thanks
David
