[quote=Anonymous]I coach a Majors team, and played against a new team this season. The other team's manager made a point of each kid playing an equal amount, pitching three different kids during the game, and making sure that each kid got to play at least once in the infield.

It was an absolute mess. We waxed them, but after the game my benchwarmer parents were muttering about why our team couldn't play like THAT team.

You mean THAT team that we beat 16-1? That team that made five errors? That team that swung at the first pitch 18 times, something that our team NEVER does because I screamed at them until they drilled it into their heads?

Majors is where baseball stops being about "each kid having fun", and starts being about performance. It's about making sure our high school programs are seeing their future players get the reps they need. It's NOT about the kid who pays some pittance to play in a Majors house league, when we have kids whose parents play THOUSANDS to go out and bring home some hardware.

Think about that the next time Snowflake plays two innings in right field and bats once. Think about the reps you're taking away from the real talents when you demand "equality".[/quote]
