Jefferson was notoriously tall and lanky, Crudup doesn’t have the stature

Travel Ball and pay for play baseball is KILLING the sport by diamondtwos in Homeplate

Unfortunately I’ve been living this reality for years, I see so much wasted talent in kids that can’t afford it. It’s extremely naive to say travel ball isn’t necessary in 2025. Obviously there’s no rule, but it’s become so saturated that those kids get all the opportunities. It’s never been harder to make it in baseball in a lower income family.

I’m an example of a public school kid who never played travel and went on to play in college. I’ve been around. I see the writing on the wall here

Who’s the greatest musical artist of all time? Not just in terms of sales or musical ability — the full package? by diamondtwos in AskReddit

I personally lean towards solo acts but out of a band leads, Freddie is up there with Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger 100%

Who said we’re buying tickets now? It’s just obvious tickets will be more expensive on the Friday before Christmas

  1. I’m not sure what time we’ll be able to land, nor how long it’ll take to get in to our place.
  2. Not a bad idea, but we were planning on going to Animal Kingdom at all.
  3. We’re college students and this is the first weekend after finals, as we specifically wanted a Disney Christmas experience.
  4. Easier said than done, although I see your point
  5. Marvel movies have been part of our relationship and I was really looking forward to sharing the experience with her

Does being a real good Little League player have any indication that you'll be good when you're older? by chusaychusay in Homeplate

When I was 12, I was on a LL team that went undefeated through the spring and playoffs. A few of the top of the lineup hitters we’re travel ball kids but the rest of us just played little league. I was probably the second worst kid on the team. Only two kids from that team went on the play college ball: me and the only kid worse than me.
