wow, and they say posting pictures is hard, no way, this place rules for tech saviiness
When i was young I played my first year of baseball at Lakeshore which was rec league part of JPRD, I seem to recall the only cost was $5 for the hat we kept. Mine happened to be A “real” yankees hat, great deal for five bucks
Then the next year I played Little League, I believe the cost was 25 (and you kept the hat also) but it was a generic hat with word of team spelled out in script.
So at the time Little League was likely deemed too expensive to many, plus it was farther, boy how times have changed, either would be a huge bargain compared to travel ball.i doubt jefferson parish still provides free athletics, but i cant imagine LL has gone up that much, id be surprised if over $200?? Which based on inflation would be comparable.
When i was later involved in umpiring I preferred LL to Pony because I felt Pony allowed stealing too young, and seemed as if most games were passed ball track meets. But Pony seemed to be better organized at the local levels, yet LL was far superior at the regional level.
My sons played at Girard in 80s. Youngest moved to bball. Great competition in rec ball. Some pretty fair coaches.
Anytime a “good” player left our little league it seemed like they went to Girard
