I agree one shouldn't get one's jock in a wad over a 10U game. But a little perspective is in order. The LL WS in Williamsport is a 12U event. The kids make plays that are worthy of ESPN web-gem highlights. To all appearance the kids take the tournament pretty seriously which is given the same TV coverage as the CWS and the LL games are probably watched by a larger audience. It is kind of amazing how much the kids learn and mature in the 12-24 months after their 10U sno-cone league games. The point is, exactly when are they supposed to learn/be taught the rules?
