Preached this for years and tried to cover American Legion baseball the best I could for as long as I could at the SHJ. There is also something special about about playing for your community.
Behind me tonight, a dad is talking to another about the cost-effectiveness of playing Legion ball over travel, and how there’s not much discernible difference in competitiveness, and how it’s the most fun his son’s ever had.
I’m about to buy whatever concessions he wants.
