Those are facts....sorry. All-star level team or not...still Rec Ball. No negative connotation being connected to it at all it is REC BALL. Excellent team and could beat some high school teams ok...but they still play rec ball through the Little League organization. That is all I am saying.

Well said! My 14U was flipping channels last night when he came upon ESPN2's coverage. His first comment was Dad "how old are these guys... the pitching is horrible?" Watched it for a few minutes with him & we could easily tell what it was (LL), & agreed some of the worst pitching by teens we'd watched in a long time.

Limited quality baseball coverage on cable this month is a big reason I drop a few bucks beginning of August every year for the premium pkg of MLB.TV. ESPN's ever glowing coverage of Little League Baseball is too much to stomach.
