I read quite a few threads that negatively refer to rec league players. I just wondered why people look down on these players and look so highly upon tournament softball players. From what I’ve researched some of the best fellows currently playing high level softball were only division II baseball players. And in playing against high level tournament players including a fellow on Team USA I admit they’re good, but I’ve also played with people in rec league who were just as good. They just didn’t have the time or desire to play softball at an elite level.
