I’m biased because I grew up rooting for and eventually worked at University of Notre Dame. My brother is a grad. I’m here for work and at a local. It’s karaoke night which I would normally avoid. Assume it’s mostly seniors ready to graduate. A Lot of talent - impressive. Not normal karaoke.

First time I’ve heard about this player and I love the nickname. Hard to imagine 4 games in one day, let alone catching two and pitching two.

I’m reading and learning about summer baseball just now ending - in mid July. If I remember - and I know my memory might not be entirely accurate - but Boca Raton Post 277 played until early August until we had to go back to school.

In my opinion amateur baseball would benefit from a return to neighborhood baseball for younger ages and American Legion Baseball - or a similar model - for high school aged players.

A lot of response to my post about amateur baseball. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and agree that the current system is entrenched enough that it would be hard to change.

It’s been my experience that by the time the parents realize the negatives to the current system it’s too late - their kids are done and the next group has already been enrolled. I work in baseball but still saw this first hand with my boys when they played - I even fell for it.

I would just like to see the kids enjoy baseball as much as I did when I was a kid. I never played a game more than an hour from my house until I was in college. The neighborhood field was a place we would stay even after our game was done - watch the other games and players.

Lots of socializing took place there. It was a good place to spend time. And we watched and talked about baseball. Being stuck in a car, hours from home with teammates from another state (whose last names you don’t know) seems the opposite of the experience I enjoyed.

I don’t know what options you have. Unfortunately I think the system in most places is less than ideal but also the only option for a lot of families. If you’re in an area with Little League Baseball I think that it the best choice because of the rules and size of the diamond.

Just learned some very tough news about a former player, Joe List. Joe was tough competitor on the field and is now in an even tougher competition. See the link if you’d like to help. gofundme.com/f/joeys-battle…

Sad news. One of the classiest men I’ve ever met. Was a pleasure to interact with him during my time at UC. Full of wisdom and kindness.
