The teams are stacked with college stars who dream of making it to the big leagues. And it's not that crazy a dream. But the best thing about the league is that the games are perfect for kids. First, the parks are small. Shirley Povich Field at Cabin John Park in Bethesda where the Big Train plays is the sweetest little ball yard south of Fenway Park in Boston.
Kids can sit so close, they can see the curve of the pitch and hear the crack of the bat.
Second, tickets are cheap. Maybe a couple of bucks. And some teams let kids in free if they are wearing their baseball-team shirt. Finally, the players are nice. These players are thrilled to sign your program, your hat, anything you want.
