Back in the day, American Legion was a way of keeping your players playing together during the summer. That unfortunately faded out, and now there are 1 million different travel teams that promise to provide your son exposure and competition. While that may be the case in a way, most of it is a money racket, that takes advantage of the fact that college coaches can't always go watch kids play during their HS seasons, b/c they are playing themselves. This is ruining HS baseball, b/c the kids that do play for these organizations, see HS as a "preseason" for travel ball, thus don't have the HS teams' best interests in mind. I > WE
