I'm in LL's back yard. I'm about 40 miles from Williamsport and I've worked a number of men's games with their head of umpiring - though none in the past 8 or so years. LL fields are just that - used for nothing but LL.
The high school aged group won the 2006 LL world series. And they are a very good high school team. As a side, it made for an interesting high school season as another local team won last year's 16&U Eastern National - they split in high school play.
Around here, LL gets all the press coverage - nothing for ASA teams or tournaments. And, with the exception of the team I mentioned earlier, the ASA teams are head and shoulders (and probably knees too) above the LL teams.
