Sports are for kids.

Well…that’s the way it should be, but professional sports has turned into big business. Games are book-ended by tail gate parties and are often filled with drunk, obnoxious and often violent adults. Taking your kid to the game can exceed a hundred of dollars when you by a couple of tickets, pay to park, buy him a hot dog, a soda and some popcorn and then head home. And if you are a Rockefeller, you can get him baseball hat.

Good news though…baseball still is for kids in Williamsport. Even with the horrible weather all along the East Coast, the Little League World Series set an all time attendance record. OK…parents are nuts. Baseball parents are particularly nuts. They spend way too much on kids playing games…but still…it’s good to see a sports that puts kids first before tail-gates.
