I don't know where PABASEBALL is (Pennsylvania, perhaps?), but our public school's baseball booster club fee is $1,000, and I've heard they are $1,500 at the next school over. Both JV and V pay that, and our JV only plays 9 games. $650+ doesn't sound out of line at all.
It's not the charging that is a problem. It is the fact that he is charging $650 as downpayment (could be more) to play against makeshift homeschool teams. That is not "real" HS baseball. There is no locker room, there are no rivalry games, no state championship and the money isn't being put back into the program, it's lining somebodies pocket. And I could live with all that, but not when they try to pass it off as doing good for the guys in the community who didn't get their chance. I have no problem with them doing their thing. I have a problem with them calling the opportunity a blessing.

My sentiments exactly when I posted my initial negative response.
