OT: Trumbull CT little league

[husky429]

When I was 12 in 2005, there were 176 little league programs in the state. Today, there are 89. I'm assuming some combination of kids not being interested in baseball anymore, stuck on their phone all day, and travel baseball have killed little league. I looked up the district tournaments today and realized that Plainville doesn't even field an all-star team anymore. Plainville is a baseball town through and through. That is wild to me.

A lot of towns are regionalizing teams from what I've seen. Instead of 1 team per town, where I grew up now has my town (the bigger one) that absorbed 2 smaller ones.

This was great. First, how does that fool anyone. Second, did this guy keep a wig in his car just in case of this scenario?

Bobby V’ mustache

I want to meet this guy. It instantly reminded me of Bobby V which was one of the greatest moments in sports history, IMO.

The year after the Trumbull American team won the LL World Series in 1989 , Chris Drury came our team practice ( Yankees/ Shelton National) and taught me and two other pitchers how to throw a nasty curve ball. We won it all again that year going back to back for the City championship. Little League was so much fun

Chris Drury was a gamer.
