There was an interesting quote in one of the myriad Strasburg articles in yesterday's Post; I should have kept it. Something about Strasburg not being "one of those travel ball kids" who was destined for injury and a short career.

LHPMom,

Of course, I believe that was written. Problem is, it's not true! At least, the part about travel ball.

He played for the Braves Scout Team in the WWBA Championship at Jupiter Florida October 2005. He also played for the "San Diego Show" Travel Team in the 18U National Championship Marietta Georgia July 2006.

Being from Santee California and playing with teams entered in tournaments in Georgia and Florida would be called "travel ball" IMO.
