HOWEVER, the toughest (by far) pernt to get across is attire and overall appearance. It takes five minutes to shine your kicks. Plate pants look like $h!t on the bases. What's a flex belt?

You are talking LL, so if these guys/gals are not paid, where do you expect them to get money from to look "professional" ? Gas is $3.00/gallon these days.
Pants cost in the neigborhood of $45.00 per pair Cheap Plate shoes are around $50.00 and that's not counting equipment, and shirts.
Therefore, unless these men / women get paid or the leagues "kick in" for equipment, pants, shirts et al. there is not too much you can do about the attire issue.
