Knew it was coming

I agree, 20+ years ago I can remember sitting at District meeting in Long Island as an Assistant DA and listening to a LL representative. We had invited him down to discuss problems within our district and LL sent him down to talk about how beautiful a facility they were building in Conn was going to be.

Didn't have a clue about rules and organizational structure but could talk for hours about how LL was going to make these great facilities for the kids. I can remember asking what that had to do with teaching baseball and a lot of other core values that LL supposedly promoted. All he said was, "it was a start". Typical Corporate Airhead programmed with his robotic speeches of "let all get together in a circle and be one happy family because the Board voted, thats the way it should be." What he meant was, it was a start of LL selling out to corporate america and building this kingdom of structures around the country for monetary reasons. They could care less what really took place in the halls of those parks as long as it didn't interfer with generating revenue. Sounds like the same principle that many of our universities have perscribed to, but thats a different forum.
