For those assuming that Legion is better baseball than Senior Babe Ruth, have you been to enough games in each league to make that distinction? Or better yet have you played in both. I have and let me tell you that there are more factors than Legion vs. Sr. Babe. I have heard that not one high school coach in NH would tell you that Sr. Babe is better than or even equivalent to Legion. That is simply not true, inquire of Souhegan, Merrimack Valley or Bow's high school coaches. And for the record Concord's Big Blue and NH Centrals All Star teams can play with any Legion team in the State, both of which play schedules 20+ games. I personally have played both, and the Senior Babe Ruth league I was in was as competitive if not more competive than the Legion league. In my opinion the overall quality of baseball played in NH has decreased over the past decade, video games, tv, internet and other options have gained the attention of our players. I feel that the only way to improve the overall quality of the baseball played in New Hampshire is to get the players when they are younger 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
As for the comment about traveling outside of this "pond", I am in agreement. I have always brought my teams to outside states, particularly southern Mass because in my opinion they take their baseball more seriously. But you want to humble NH Players take them down to Florida.
