Mug shots, too?

In the small town where we call home there are just four registered sex offenders. Their crimes include Criminal Sexual Assault, Child Pornography/Film/Photos, Indecent Solicitation Of A Child and Unlawful Restraint. As the father of two just short of their teens, I am grateful that our baseball association keeps people like this away from our kids. I'll happily provide fingerprints and agree to a background check any day if it means making our children safer. It would be interesting to learn how much LL organizations pay to conduct background examinations for all umpires, coaches and mentors. Around here, we pay about $600 for my ten year old to play Spring ball. Most of that goes to field maintenance and umpires - most of whom are high school kids. Nice money for time limit games.

The latest figures I know are

125 checks for free on Lexis/Nexus

Additional at $1.00 each.


$600?! Did you oops on an extra 0 or are you talking travel team?
