Youth baseball has gotten out of hand with all these travel teams and leagues. Kids are recruited, trained and cut, just like the pros. For the parents, it's mandatory travel for all the tournaments their kid is required to play in if they want to stay on the team.
Uniforms? Ha! Just the other day a friend was telling me about his young grandson who had to go to a "fitting" for his full uniform. Hell, when I played little league, all we got was a used cotton t-shirt and ball cap......LOL!

Any physical activity can be dangerous.
