Speaking of expensive, did you see the tread here from a Freeper Dad noting that it cost $170 to sign his kid up for little league? No wonder people don't have lots anymore.
And the days of pick up games in the back field are over, sad to say.
Yes exactly what I'm talking about...whatever happened to sandlot games that didn't cost anything? I left the city to live in the country because it would be cheaper to raise children here. Even so, it's still money because you have to compensate for the things that a smaller rural community doesn't have.
