Little League is like pro sports used to be before free agency. And I hate to admit, because I'm a free-market Republican, that I wax nostalgic for the "good ol' days." I can still at 44 years old recite the entire lineup for the S.F. Giants of the late 60's and early 70's. These days, no team could hold Mays, McCovey, Spier, Bobby Bonds, or Tito Fuentes past their contract. I am loathe to know who plays for any team from season to season.

While I enjoy umpiring USSSA, Connie Mack, Super Series, etc. because of the superior play, such ball is free agency applied to youth ball and is great for the few kids that will get scholarships. But I also am nostalgic enough to work Little League because it's devoted to all kids playing for the team in their neighborhood.
