The East Brunswick Baseball League needs players for this year's Fall Ball Season.

A NY Times article explores the era of the $250 baseball bat
- OPINION

Wednesday, April 25, 2012
Have you bought a baseball glove for your Little Leaguer lately? Did you pay more than $100 for it? How about a $250 bat? A New York Times story headlined "Big Price Tags Attached to Even the Littlest Leagues," looks at the big business of equipping youngsters for participation in youth baseball and softball leagues, quoting those costs and more. "A batting helmet protects tiny heads for $39.99," the Times reports. "A pair of Nike Jordan Black Cat cleats will make your child fast and fashionable at $51.99 until he or she outgrows them." So what do you think East Brunsnwick? Has the cost of bats and gloves taken our kids too far from the simpler days of sandlot and playground ballgames? Or have you had better luck finding more modestly-…

After winning the Edison tournament this week, the squad is preparing to travel to Cooperstown, N.Y., later this month to play teams from across the nation.
The East Brunswick Bears U-12 travel baseball team completed a highly successful season Thursday night when it defeated Jersey City 6-3 to become the champions of the 2011 Edison Tournament.

My kid plays hockey. A pair of skates will cost as much as a full set of equipment for baseball. And equipment is the cheap part. And there is no high school team for him to play for. No matter how much I would contribute in fees, EB school board rejected an offer of a 100% parent funded program. So that begs a question, why should my tax dollars support other school sports programs, the ones … more ›
