I had the pleasure of attending Cooperstown this year as a coach of my sons travel team. Yes, there is a big disparity of talent across all the teams. I didn't witness any poor sportsmanship while I was there but I did have the opportunity to talk with other coaches who brought teams from less competitive programs. My team came with an expectation of going6-4 or 5-5 but I was stunned when another coach told me he didn't expect his team to score let alone win. After one particular blowout this same coach told me the team was celebrating because their pitcher actually managed to strike out one of the players on the other elite program team. I asked the player about it and he talked me through each pitch of that strike out. If you go to Cooperstown and make it all about winning or even the score then you are missing the point. It is called Dreamspark for a reason.
