[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs, especially about GameChanger (although be careful how your scorekeeper accounts for errors -- everyone should understand what makes a play an error) and never escaping the politics. The problem is, with baseball, and I assume many other team sports, it's not always obvious why some kids are favored over the others. Baseball is a game of failure so you're going to see even the best athletes "fail" much of the time. How a player "fails" makes a difference and is perceived by each coach differently (i.e. some coaches have no trouble with a good pitcher who can't hit, others won't stand for kids who hit but are too slow to effectively run the bases, etc....) Escaping to a travel league might take the daddy ball out of the equation, but even then, coaches will find their favorites and your opinion may differ with theirs. If your son wants to continue to play baseball, these are all things he needs to learn to live with. [/quote]
