Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 5309667, member: 489"] Baseball has changed so much over the years. When I played prior to HS and college you started farm LL until good enough for majors LL. You then went to Pony and Internediate 13-15 or if good enough you could play Legion 15-18 as well as Babe Ruth 16-18. In Meriden we had a team called the Post 45 Villagers in which we played both legion and babe Ruth schedules playing about 45- 55 games a summer depending on tourney wins. Legion seems non existent now as does Babe Ruth it’s a shame. Legion in the mid to late 70s was the game, you were scouted by college programs and even MLB guys ventured to Legion games as all the best city and town kids were playing. Is it just CT and WesMass where it’s gone? Where do they play now just those AAU type programs? [/QUOTE]
