Ed, I am calling to rebut someone who called in about a local Little League. You should teach your children to win with dignity and lose with dignity. Maybe you should get a rule book out and read it because you obviously don’t know the rules.

Little League Mom

Ed, this is the president of the North Trenton Little League. As coaches we have to regularly deal with parents who do not know or understand the rules of Little League. Cheating as defined by one single parent can’t actually be called cheating because parents do not know the rules. It is unfair to the child, the league, and to the president of that league, to say someone is cheating. Once the parents learn the rules of baseball the game would be better in the city of Trenton. I personally know the president of the Chambersburg Little League and he does not cheat or teach his players to cheat. In the future, facts should be stated first and not just accusations made.

Prez

Ed, about the Chambersburg Little League. I am a past president of another league. I think that article was a disgrace. This woman did not call to ask the president about this incident, she just went right to the newspaper. She doesn’t know the rules and she is taking it out on the president. The rules are for the protection of the kids. I have known the president for years and I think he is doing a great job. If he goes 200 kids will be out on the street. Because when he goes that league is done. It’s a shame that one parent is this distraught about her team getting beat. She should learn the rules, and if she has a problem she should contact the board of directors.

Past Prez

Ed, about the Chambersburg Little League president. I’m a parent and I would like to say that the president, Danny, is about the best president in the whole District 12. Maybe the crying parent and the president of 6/11 should take a lesson from him on the rules of the game. This man has built a batting cage, he has everything to offer for a child. Chambersburg is the best Little League in the city. Chambersburg rules!

Ed, I am responding to the comment about the Chambersburg Little League. What about Danny from Chambersburg? He has been nothing but good for those kids. Danny treats those kids like his own. He is like a father to children who don’t have one. My son has been on that league for five years and, thank God, no complaints. Whoever dislikes him that person should find something else to talk about. So stop crying and let us play baseball.

And may I remind everyone, it’s just a game.—Ed. Note
