The reason I take it personal is because our name is actually mentioned in one of the articles. In fact it is the only organization called out by name. Makes you wonder if they even know there are many organizations that run showcases and tournaments.
Also, when a Major League manager speaks out people tend to listen. Guess Joe doesn't know that we have had the sons of many MLB managers at our events. None of them are talking about this being a problem because they are involved in it. Also had the sons of several scouting directors and many other scouts. Even had the sons of a couple GMs. And a very large number of former Major Leaguers sons. Yet one manager, the one that has experienced the fewest cases of TJ surgery is the one talking. All because for only the second time he has a pitcher that is having TJ surgery. No mention that that pitcher never attended a showcase and did not play travel baseball.
