I don’t have any problem with travel ball. I just think kids should play community ball or little league until they turn 13. As for Ripkin - he has taken cheap shots at Little League for years.

I coached rec council baseball until my son was age 10 or so. By the time they get to that age, too many parents were sure their kids were the second coming of [fill in whoever was the most popular baseball player at the time].
I was a coach because my job afforded me the flexibility to do so (reason #2) but primarily so I could spend time with my son and his friends and share my love of the game with them (reason #1).
I don’t know anything about Cal badmouthing little league, would love to see his comments if you have access to them. A jiffy quick google search doesnt turn up anything.
