I call it the all star syndrome. They start catergorizing these kids at an early age. i once saw a kid witha t shirt T ball allstar. Must have ben 5 yrs old. Look at Little league . Get the in house league done so we can "pick" our tournament team. Kids who do not get "picked" do one of 2 things stick it out or just stop playing because in many cases it is the same kids fom 9 years on. Many times it is not so much baseball ability but just physical strength. The kid is 12 years old and 5'10'' 200 pounds.

My son just completed his college eligibility walkd on as a freshman. I look back and remember Little league when he did not get "picked" as a tournament player because he was 4 foot something. We chuckle and say whatever happened to so and so.
