[The Guru]

OK....I would like to clear a few things up on here.
I think everyone knows who I am....and some might know who my wife is, but I have a feeling that BC might be thinking a little off-base.
Yes there are people that are upset that a new league was formed and that PLL has taken a big hit from it. However, these posters are not representing Paintsville High School. PHS could care less about CRL. If you want to refer to these posters as anything, refer to them as PLL parents or faithful or whatever, but I assure you that there posts about CRL, are from their affiliation with PLL.
Although many don't want to believe it, PLL and PHS are not associated. Sure they have connections, but that is only because it is a small community. Can anyone tell me what teacher or BOE member from Paintsville is on, or was on the board of the PLL?
The last one I can think of was maybe David Rice. He coached the Dodgers when his son Adam(whom is now in like his 3rd year at EKU)played. I am not even sure he was on the board at PLL. Bob Lyons was President of PLL and a coach and board member for years befor becoming an asst. coach at PHS. I would venture to guess that there have been more teachers and administration from Johnson Co School coaching and on the board at PLL in the last 10-15 years than there ever has been from PHS.
Now, just a personal observation on my part. I am glad to be a part of Babe Ruth, I feel honored. Don't take me wrong, but I believe that it will take years and many of them for CRL/BRL to be a success. I am not talking about just the number of kids that are playing, that number is phenominal. But I do know that the actual number of kids that really want to play is much lower. Their are kids on my own team that said that they could care less about baseball. If CRL/BRL can hold these same numbers for 4-5 years, then I would call it a success. But IMO, I feel several that came out to see what the fuss was over, will not be back, and will just be sitting on the couch eating fritos. But at least they had the chance, and that is a good thing.
Now, the biggest complaint I have heard from parents of PLL is this.....Why didn't they just put a fourth of their effort into making PLL even better? Better for all.
That one, I can't explain or answer.
Hope I have not offended anyone, just trying to clear a few of my view up on here.
