Roster 2005-2024 Form

Little league teams, at least in my area, are often run by local park districts and sometimes by towns or villages.That creates jurisdictional issues. Only people (taxpayers) that live within the borders of the park district or governing body are allowed to have kids in the league.This was true when I was a kid and played and when I was an adult and sat on the league board. Proof of residency and age were required. Background checks for umps and coaches.

To make a video game using MLB team and player names, likenesses, and uniforms you need two licenses, one from MLB Properties, representing the teams, and one from the MLB Players Association for the players.The license fee will consist of a multiyear guarantee against a percentage royalty based on net wholesale sales.The amounts will be large. Based on the MLB royalty rates I am familiar with, in soft goods, I can guess that the combined royalty rate could easily be in the 20%-25% range, and the annual guarantee in the millions of dollars (think about it, $1 million in royalties at 20% = only $5 million in net sales).Also, it's an open question whether you'd get the rights to use trademarks like "World Series." In soft goods and some other categories the standard license does not include World Series, All-Star Game, etc. and relatively few licensees are allowed to use them. Additional royalties attach.Daniel Super is correct, the number of licenses granted in this category is very small every year, and this licensor places a high value on financial stability and lack of risk, so only the well-established and well-financed are likely to be granted licenses.

Teams have their on proprietary systems, subscribe to public and private feeds, and generally have entire staffs of data specialists to capture, record and maintain the databases and provide the information needed.  Most teams not only capture the conventional and sabremetric stats, but augment the core database with scouting reports from their amateur and advance scouts so that all information is available in one place.A nice overview of the kind of things that are available in these systems was covered during the infamous "hacking" of the Houston Astro's internal database system, called "Ground Control."  This is an interesting ESPN link that goes into more detail: Why Houston Astros' database would be worth hacking

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Thanks for the question. You didn’t include why she is upset but I’ll take a guess it is the time commitment she is objecting to.You did include you support her interests. Before you say anything, pretend you’re a bird. Fly … metaphorically…over the relationship and take a birds eye view. Is it healthy? How upset is she? Reasonably in your view? Or making you feel lousy and guilty upset? Temper tantrum upset? Is it like a street…one way? Is she an emotionally healthy person? After your flight, decide if you can handle this upset again, and believe a reasonable response is all that is necessary to do what you reasonably want to do.If so, validate her feelings…”I know…I’d miss me too if I were you.” Humor always works. Then hug her and tell her that you and she cannot be your best selves if you are not doing what you love to do. Tell her that loving you means loving a guy who wants to coach baseball. Asking you to give it up is asking you to be someone else; it comes with the package. Tell her you can’t ask her to …. pick an activity…because that’s what she likes to do. Avoid the but I support you argument; this is an argument you’ll have over and over if you don’t make the point that you are going to do what you reasonably need to do.Then suggest you sit down together and talk about the time you’ll spend away. Baseball can take forever…. Keep that in mind. Ask her what you can do for her because you are going to coach…and gently…”Don’t b@&$h and moan again….ok, sweetheart? Good”. Maybe more gently than that.Hope that helps.

Coach, at game time our team only has 8 players available. I know the rule book says that 9 are required to start game. ... I say, “How about we play the game with 8 so that the kids can play some baseball. This is minor leagues; if you want the win, you can have it.”
