" To Remember 95. Are you involved with the children or are you the parent on the sideline complaining instead of offering any assistance to make the league better? You sure are setting a good example to your child!! Do something constructive and assist in coaching and be a role model, remember the children are the future. Take your child across the line to play, whats the fee 10 dollars? Grow up and be responsible and help solve the problem instead of the problem. Be a role model as the coaches are well most of them apperantly they weren't doing background checks and some of them guys should have not been allowed around the kids. "

" Great article Bruce. It is nice to see some articles that reflect goodness among our community. Thanks to all the coaches for dedicating their time and effort to make baseball a local tradition. "

" Why not try focusing on what this story is about-SPORTSMANSHIP.

Teach your kids that its not about who wins or who loses-its about learning to play the game and learning how to work as a TEAM.

Thanks for your efforts Bruce-Dominic would be proud! "

" to "remember" OMG...get a life. I sure do hope your child that is playing termite does not have your attitude. Have you asked the board members about how the money is spent..it costs lots of money for the lights, insurance, equipment etc. Remember ALL the coaches volunteer their time...do you? I hate the cost also and I know it's really hard on alot of parents, but there is only so much the league can do. Instead of just being "another" complaining parent, why not get more involved and maybe do more stuff like fund raiser to help keep the cost down for next year. "

" I have to ask, sir, where did you get your information? I would love to find a T-Shirt for $3 and a $4 hat. If you can tell me where to find these items at these prices more power to you. In this economy, that would make my life a whole lot easier.

Also, I happen to live with one of those "loser coaches", and he gives everything he can to these kids, making sure they can have a great experience. I wish I would have had a coach like that when I was thier age, I might have stayed out of a bit of trouble, eh?

I have to thank Little League Fan. And I agree, attend one of their board meetings, and bring up those concerns. I'm sure they would be more than happy to answer your questions. "

" I live out of town now but I am from Douglas. I have always taken pride as to where I come from and what Douglas had to offer. Little League was one of my favorites and I enjoy reading the newspaper online. I was sad to read the above comment about "your all fools". I do want to say to the individual to not be afraid to ask the board members about thier spending plan. I am sure that it is available to the community. Feel free to attend thier meetings. You appear angry and I pray that this is not passed on to your child. You are correct to say that this is for the kids, therefore giving you the right to ask questions instead of breaking your brain to bash someone or others involved. It is obvious that your sportsman ship lacks the professionalism it takes to be a good person, parent, neighbor and team player in life itself. Good luck to you and I give props to the Board members, the coaches, parents all involved as you all give your time and effort to make this a fun adventure to those who mean the most to us. Our Kids!

" your all fools. $95.00 and all the kids get is a cheap $3.00 t shirt and a $4.00 cap. By the way some of the letters are not on right. What is all the money being raised for. the three all star teams at the end of the year. let everyone pay up so that a bunch of loser coaches can say im the all star coach. this should be for all the kids Bruce. The kids not the sponsors the kids. They pay way much more than the sponsors and instead of nice uniforms you get them crap! I hope my son will have a good little league experience after he leaves termite. "
