I'll be watching with a lot of interest!



Damn man...putting the mercy rule on em. Paintin them corners like maddox. I always wondered what league you needed to be in to get to the world series cause I played in Babe Ruth back in Oakland and we had some true squads...just never got any love.
I played at Greenman too....
Back in the day,Oakland won to the National Championship every year and met the President.I remember the very best players would come out from North Oakland Little league and be average when they played with babe Ruth players. Remember when Danville went to the Little League World Series? That same year oakland won the babe Ruth National Championship.They tried to put together a game between the two but the Danville coaches were not having it.The sad thing is that as talented as the Babe Ruth players were, the street life or school ended up keeping them from going to the Pros.

Man, yeah those were the days. Play in the morning and then get some nachos and watch the afternoon game. One of the greatest moments of my life was getting my name called while I was at-bat on the main field man. Yeah I played in North Oakland for one year. I was absolutely balling. Knocking shit to the fence at Montera and going yard at Caldecott. Just wasn't the same. Those were my classmates but all of my boys were playing at Greenman or Defermery

You probably played for weak ass Gallagher and Burke
wished you were a Kappa or Clean Scene or Allen Temple player
I more than likely trotted around the bases if you played pitcher, I never pitched
. Good times brotha. I just remember the hardest ninjas in West Oakland would cry on the mound when we were getting bashed my Burress and Ward.You probably played for weak ass Gallagher and Burke

lol..played for Kappa I and II. Used to practice at Lowell Park. I do remember ninjas were playing for Hammer with the green jerseys... Good times brotha. I just remember the hardest ninjas in West Oakland would cry on the mound when we were getting bashed my Burress and Ward.
LOL...I forgot about Hammer.

I aint gonna front, I got into Baseball real late and was sorry.My team was the absolute worst. I think i'm older that you because I do remember Gallager and Burke, but they were a few years below when I played. Were you in the same age as Jimmy and Ray?
Sad because I remember being in awe of how talented those cats were.LLWS is it's own league, not all parks run LL. Down in Georgia it used to be Dixie Boys and Dixie Youth and they have a World Series as well.
I'm a little younger than them but I've played against them.
Gallagher and Burke...there was the good Kappa with the black and white kids and the bad Kappa with just the black kids
Pal
Clean Scene
Allen Temple
Crowell
lol
i can go on and on.
It's so many leagues and tournaments man, a lot of good athletes fall through the cracks because they don't play at the right parksLLWS still have teams throughout the State of Georgia as well. Columbus GA won it all in 2006, and Warner Robbins won in 2007.

Lol...yeah the bad Kappa was also "West Oakland Kappa"... I played with them mostly. I also played with Kappa II but that was with cats that ended up in college and pro minor league ball. I ain't ashamed to say I got no burn..lol. Took my ass right back to Kappa I. We didn't win much but we had hella fun and talked a gang of shit...
Why do those white kids look so much bigger than the black kids?
