Why are winners and losers wrong?

What the heck will these kids do when they get into the real world and are seeking a job--how will they react when they do not get the job they apply for?

I am with Billy Martin

For 7,8 and 9yr olds, I don't believe keeping score is important and it's little kids we are talking about, not the real world.

OK at age 10, sure let's start keeping score.

SANDLOT baseball needs to be the protocol for ages at least 8U ... 5 on 5 OR 6 on 6.

- Pitcher
- Catcher
- 1st Baseman
- SS
- Two Outfielders

We will force kids to run and everyone will basically be involved on EVERY play vs. 9 on 9.

I remember playing fast pitcher tennis ball with 2 on 2 OR 3 on 3 on a makeshift baseball field where certain areas were OUTS if you hit it there.
