Again, thanks.

Again to both Richs, I thank you.

mb- i totally get where you're coming from on some people's memories of LL parents etc., and our league is not perfect by any means, but I ask you: are the leagues above LL immune to the same issues? When my son played Babe Ruth level and tried out for his HS team we found those too to contain politics, bad parent behavior and coaches with pre-conceived ideas of who played when/where and not based on tryouts and practices. I submit to you that until you get to the college level "daddyball" and politics still play an integral part in the those leagues above LL and until you get to college.

Also, just as a note; I would stack up our LL's umpires with the Legion and HS umpires in our area any day of the week.

(Sorry if this post to "mb's" comment doesn't meet some purist's standards.)
