After reading this article, I'm not sure whether the smile or throw up:

There is No Stealing in Baseball!

From manicures to motorcycles, four Little League crooks in three states used team funds for more than baseballs, bats and celebratory ice cream cones. Thanks to community kindness, it’s still game-on this spring.

We had a situation when son entered HS. So we informed the guy in charge of the booster club he was done.

I am sure this happens everywhere. Most people are not good with other peoples money.

What gets me is the travel teams and coaches who collect substantial amounts of money and don't deliver what they promise. I know of guy who collected thousands for a season and promised hotels and ran out of money halfway through summer and the team was stranded.

Its really disgusting.

This sounds like a good situation to take a baseball bat to the knees of these people. Some people have no business being in charge of any money !
