Lightbulb Perception is reality

In some regions Little League ball is perceived as "inferior" to Babe Ruth or USSSA and vice versa. Neither one is right or wrong it is just a belief.

I guarantee that if Gerry Davis showed up at a local American Legion game wearing shorts, a ragged hat on backwards and dirty gear, he would be perceived as being a "dud". I think we can agree that this is not the case.

We teach rookies the importance of looking the part, not because it makes them "better" umpires, but rather it creates a professional appearance and perception.

David is not trying to say that LL is worse than USSSA, just relaying the "fact" that parents perceive LL as an inferior form of baseball.
