I recently returned from the AAU Jr. Olympics in New Orleans where they had the 16U baseball tournament. The East Cobb Astros won it all. The New Orleans baseball committee did a fantastic job considering the rain that we had every day and putting up with the Tri-State Arsenal players,coaches and fans. Sportsmanship the Arsenal don't know what the word means. Coaches having pitchers throw at batters, players cursing and arguing with umpires, parents yelling out abusive and vulgar comments. One that comes to mind is "our umpire yesterday conveniently had a HEART ATTACK". They were so ugly that site tournament officials didn't want them back at their sites. Not one opposing team or any other team that was entered in the tournament could stand them. They were a disgrace to the game of baseball and most of all to the great State of New Jersey of whom I am a native of. I challenge the Tri-State Arsenal to play in the 2006 WWBA/17U Tournament in Marietta, Ga. Tri-State Arsenal JUST SHUT UP!!!!
