There is between 600 and 700 kids a year playing at the Eaton Ruritan ballpark (a few years ago it went to almost 900) and they take 0.00 tax dollars. Maybe it's in the way the parks are being run.

<quoted text> The leagues @l.c complex only got to play 8 games total due to rain outs and no make ups, the 14& under only had enough players to make up 1 team but you look around the surrounding areas and baseball is growing. The fields are terrible, theres no where to practice, I GUESS THE QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ASKED IS WHERE IS THE MONEY FROM TAX PAYERS AND FROM SIGN UP FEES REALLY GOING TO??? ARE WE OVERSTAFFED IN THE PARKS & REC. DEPT.?
