Just when you think its over, the Crazy Train has pulled back into the station with a farm division parent on board.
She registered her kid about a month after the season started. This is fine as many of our younger players are unaware of the registration dates, etc. When the trophies were ordered, the trophy person was given an original roster and his name wasn't on it. No one realized this. Slightly disappointing but it happens. A new one was ordered when we did the All Star trophies. I get a nasty email...Where is my kid's souvenir? meaning trophy He didn't get it yet. I apologized for the mistake and told her I would let her know when it arrived. In the meantime, I get another nasty email wanting a refund. After contacting the manager to get some background, I call her to find out the reasons. All of a sudden, she can't talk and will call back later. No call. Surprising huh?
We make a plan to meet yesterday at Starbucks to deliver the trophy. I introduce myself and go to shake her hand. She ignores me, picks up the trophy and walks off. Well, OK then....
Then I get the following email. And my response. Hop aboard the Crazy Train!
Can u please email me the information to the head league office . I think you shouldn't have crooked people volunteer their invaluable time to coach the kids . Our coach which is your friend were the worst and very crooked people . It's not fair for parents to sign up their kids with crooked people . You have to have experience and passion to be able to coach all the kids not just your favorites . Coaches also make sure to treat every player in the team equally. Maybe in miramesa is different and it's okay to have crooked coaches and coaches that only value who their favorite people are on the team . But it's not like that in better neighborhoods like ladera ranch .. if u want this to work for your baseball team .. have people who have a passion and experience and don't play favoritism ... coaches that whine as well and steal from the team are the worst . Coaches that only shares the success with their own team favs should not be allowed to coach and argue with other team coaches because they have issues outside should not bring their drama to the game .. game were never on time because the coaches did not agree on something or whatever .. seriously .. this has been the worst season .... we had a great coach and team last year in tball .. you should allow more valuable people to volunteer for this .. don't have them volunteer because they want something ... do it because they want to really coach the kids and treat every kid equally .. so yes coaches this year played favoritism and also did not really coach the team only their fav members .. ughhhhh ...... thank u and Pls send me the Information on the main league office .. I understand you don't get paid to do what you do but need to understand to do it woth the heart of passion and with all fairness not just to make a name for themselves and collect the rewards meant for the team for themselves and not share it with the whole team but only the people they like on the team ... Soooooo wrong ......
Good morning,
MMWLL is governed by the MMWLL Board of Directors. So if you want to email them, your email went to me which is correct. We are a part of but not governed by District 32. Their contact information can be found on their website.

In order to address your complaints properly, I will need specific examples of what you are calling "crooked" behavior. Stealing from the team is a serious allegation and again specific examples are needed. Please included dates, dollar amounts or equipment that you believe have been stolen and the board will follow up.
I am sorry that I am hearing about these issues after the season has been completed. In the future, any problems regarding treatment of the players should be directed to the player agent and any manager issues should be directed to the manager representative at the time their are happening so they can be dealt with immediately.
In MMWLL we have a serious lack of volunteers in all areas from board members, to managers, to umpires to snack bar and field help. The few people that do volunteer spend an unimaginable amount of time doing many jobs above and beyond the position they volunteered for. I am attaching a volunteer form should you or your husband find some free time to dedicate to the league and join our shrinking ranks of league volunteers. We always welcome new ideas.
In keeping with league protocol, I am forwarding your complaint and this email to the player agent, Scott MacNaughton, manager rep, Scott Moody and District Administer Lisa LaPage. You are copied on that as well.
As a tip for the future, your emails will be taken more seriously if you use standard spelling, grammar and punctuation.
It is what it is...
Namaste
She sounds like a real pip. Annie
