[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From being in the Little League world for many years one anecdotal observation is that the level of craziness in a town’s LL is proportional to the strength of the town’s HS baseball team. Obviously, Vienna has a really strong Madison HS baseball program and that level of competitiveness flows down into travel and LL teams. Parents see their neighborhood kids getting college scholarships and occasional pro baseball opportunities. So the expectations are often unrealistic from the get go. [/quote] Great point. Our LL is insane, it's taken VERY seriously. They have gone to the LL World Series multiple times. Our high school baseball team - everyone feeds into the same school - is a multiple time state champion and nearly every senior goes on to play college ball at one level or another. The HS coach has been there for 40 years so we now have multiple generations that have been in this world. It's...a lot...[/quote]
