An unfortunate placeholder episode: an opinion about the Little League scandal involving the cheating of the Jackie Robinson West team from Chicago. A 10,000 foot view of how Little League International works, how it is different from travel ball, and its pros and cons, from the perspective of a parent, volunteer, and coach.

Fans In Exile is a podcast about baseball hosted by Thomas Attila Lewis and Mark Regester. We love the San Francisco Giants but we love all baseball. We talk to fans of the game, and specifically fans of teams that are far away from where they live and work, hence, Fans In Exile. Join us every week as we talk up game developments and have a chat with a fan or two. We don't talk Sabremetrics or fantasy league stats and picks.
