This is so funny, I have to wipe my tears of laughter with a Kleenix...sorry, I mean "tissue."

Yesterday, I had to replace my daughter's Band-Aid...I mean "adhesive bandage."

Little League is what most people call youth baseball in conversation b/c nearly everybody will associate youth baseball w/ the words "little league" so it keeps things simple in conversations.

Ed Zachary what my point was.

In my part of the country, when someone says "Let's stop and get a coke", they mean any soft drink, reagrdless of brand. I'm 100% sure the Coca-Cola Company doesn't mind.

I imagine they're happy about that, just so long as someone doesn't try to market their locally made sodas as "Coca-Cola." No one was marketing this little league local league as being associated with "Little League," and this forum hardly qualifies as an advertisement for this particular league.

Personally, I think it's up to the organization to police intellectual property, not some coach from New York who thinks he knows better than every umpire he's ever met.

That's just me, though.

And when said coach always tells me when I nitpick coaches for not knowing the difference between Obstruction and Interference, "You know what he meant." We knew what the OP meant when he said little league, not really Little League®.

Little League®: It's the original...it's the best!

PUH-LEEZE child!
