Bottom line..I was asked what level of play it was an answered correctly 100% rec ball. End of story.
Did you even watch the game RZ1?
I don't think it was an answer, it was an opinion. And no, I didn't see the game, but, wish I had. My point is that it's unfair to pigeon hole a huge group with a "rec" title when you don't have an experts knowledge of the complete "culture". With that said, IMO, anything played on the little diamond is rec ball and that includes all-star teams because they are many times selected as a "who you are" versus a talent level. That includes the LL WS because I'm sure many of those kids drop off the field as soon as the bases reach 90'. Kids 12 and under do not understand the true definition of commitment and passion and until they do they are playing the game in a recreational manner. Again, that's just my opinion.....not an answer.
If you're going to categorize with an older group, tag a player as a "rec" player, not the organization.
