Sometimes it's a shame.

It's a shame that the local Little League baseball league is run by petty, vindictive, power hungry little beaurocrats. It's a shame because it hurts the game. It's a shame because it hurts the kids. It's a shame because it's been that way since I played at that field 20+ years ago. It's a shame because I won't expose my son to them. It's a shame because the kid hits every fastball and knuckleball I throw down the pipe. It's a shame because he has all the fundamentals, and he won't be playing.
