If this has been brought up, sorry. Here's my question: One of the pitches PG makes is that its events are attractive to scouts because they see the best talent. In some cases, that's absolutely true. But in many, it's not. There were 336 teams in the 17U WWBA this summer. More than 100 were from Georgia (60) and Florida (43).

Florida? Maybe. But way more than a few of those Georgia teams were rec ball boys.

(And just because it's stuck in my craw in a bad way (sorry, PGtaff ... but remember: Feedback is a gift : When a mom who's schlepped boys all over Atlanta for a week shows up for the semifinals with HALF a cup of coffee -- LET HER KEEP THE DARNED THING!

The inflexibility over something so trivial is just not necessary -- and it reflects badly on the PG brand (and PLEASE don't anyone tell me it's a LakePoint rule, unrelated to PG; that dog won't hunt).
