The politics in your immediate area has died down some since Area Director is no longer from Davidson County. Home base moves in his rule has caused a lot of friction. See Post 36 statement above, he refers to theses moves from the past. Post 36 was an excellent promoter of American Legion baseball. I really miss him now that he has stepped away. We always had some crossover players, but settled it an adult way.
Moving bases is not the answer. The program is dying because it has failed to keep and attract the youth of today. The real evil is showcase and as a Legion program you have to adapt to that or not have a program. This is the sole reason less than 10 years ago our Area had 20+ teams. Last year I think they had 12 and several of those 12 are hanging on by A thread. I have the upmost respect for current and past military and what the American Legion stands for, when I say this I don’t mean the respect that they expect, but their playing rules, politics and paperwork requirements has driven many away.
