[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite fact about Little League is that just 64 players who ever appeared in the LLWS wound up in the MLB.

If you envision baseball stardom for your kid, LL is not the way to go![/quote]

The problem is that there are probably 50 teams in Southern CA that could all beat the team that does the worst at Williamsport due to the formula for qualifying.

Same for FL, GA and TX teams.  Any number of teams that didn’t win their region could beat the team qualifying from New England or Pacific NW (understanding once every decade thiose regions produce a decent team).[/quote]

That doesn't help, but also, the larger point is: having an overbearing parent who plays politics to manipulate your team into LLWS doesn't equal Major League Baseball stardom. But also, the surest indicator of future MLB success is being closely related to a current or former MLB player, so I dunno... maybe people should stop hanging so much importance on their 11yo kid's athletic accomplishments?[/quote]
