I was part of an All Star team when I was 13/14 and we went to Springfield MO and played their All Star Team. They had 2 really good (and tall) pitchers and 2 good infielders. The rest were average players that looked as bad as some of the old KC Royals outfields in their lean years.

I remember the big guy pitching that first game threw me a fastball I hit into the gap. The right fielder and the center fielder collided chasing the ball and I got an inside the park home run.

No idea. Don't remember. The teams came to play us in Springfield. We did go to a couple of tournaments and traveled to other cities for a game or two every year. I was way bigger than those kids in those other cities too.

That does sound like our team. We had 2 other players that could play pretty damn good but the rest were at best, what is known now as "rec ball" players.
