Sorry I struck a nerve RJM. But LL is just for fun. When kids can bat .990 and average 12+ K's a six inning game it is a little silly. When you lose perspective, you might want to check your logic. And read the posts. I mentioned the geographical boundaries. I am glad it is strong in your area. But I bet it is weaker than it was 10 years ago and in 10 more years, who knows. Arizona has grown around 3 times in population in the last twenty years and there are less kids playing LL now if you go by the loss of districts. You can really see the loss in the higher levels. You start with 15 T-ball teams and end up with 5 majors teams. JR's is about dead and I have never seen the next level play in LL. And all three of my kids played LL. The last one finished this year.
LL is in a tail spin.
