In my last year, I was on the Expos (there were only eight teams in the league, what fucking bastard made a bunch of Californian pre-adolescents wear Expos uniforms?). ![]() But of course, the type of person who rigs little league drafts is exactly the sort of person who also roots for the Yankees against their home town teams.Ī funny thing happened though. This was in San Jose, California, so if you were going to rig such things, you could at least make the team the Giants or A’s. Every year, a group of long time coaches rigged the draft so that all the good players were on the Yankees, so that they’d have a better shot in the playoffs. Forever in twelve year old terms means at least seven years since that’s how long the oldest kids could have possibly been in the league. It was a well known fact that the Yankees had won every single year forever. The previous years, the Yankees finished in first and moved on to whatever nebulous world of playoffs lay beyond the little league regular season. When I was twelve years old, I played my third and last year of little league.
