Is the BIG Game worth it

[RPatrino]

We just got our new game fee schedule at our 'all day' meeting on Saturday. Most leagues are paying $53 for Varsity/JV 2 man games. They are paying between $75-83 for ONE MAN JV/Freshman games. I'd be interested to see who asks for those games. I suppose if you dislike the intensity of varsity baseball you could opt to work down.

I've done a few 'big games' in my career, and yes, I do get off on the pressure. If you are scared you might have to punch out the batter for the final out of a one run championship game, then you should find another hobby.

Play-off baseball around here only pays $5 more then a regular season game, so no, it's not about the money. They do reserve a parking place for us though, but they don't pay for gas. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I drove about 4 hours one way for one of my semi-final NCS games this past year. Trust me, it was well worth the drive.

Are you with the CCUA by chance?

I love working the big games, be it the atmosphere, the higher quality of ball or the greater challenge to my skills, I'm always trying to advance within my abilities.

The money is a nice secondary benefit.

Welpe, I work for NEB (North East Bay) as well as MCON (Mid County). I do know a great many of the guys that work with CCUA, though.
