Sorry for all the posts I'm just thinking outloud. Heres an example. If a parent took there kid to say walmart. They get there pictures taken wearing there baseball uniform, becuase its cheaper to get the pictures taken there, then what the leagues prices are. Would the little league sue the parent or walmart because they were taking money away from the league!! Another thought dont you pay for the uniform in the sign up fees?? So isn't it yours to take pictures of?? When you sign up does it say you have to buy there pictures?? NOPE!!!! Does everyone buy the pictures!!! NOPE. will it make a difference if you give them a layout?? I think NOT!!!!!! man this is stressful it gets me so mad. I can just imagen how you must feel.

WOW! I just read where they called you to a meeting Sunday. I must have missed some of the threads when I posted! I don't like their tone at all. And I still don't think they have any legal means to keep you from doing this. I might suggest that you ask then to quote you the LAW whether Little League regulations or regular law that prohibits you from doing this. If they can't then I think you CAN. About 10 years ago when I refinanced my house I had a call from the bank that said I was past due. Since my payments were automaticlly deducted from my checking account I called right away to see what had happened. Well they had taken the payment out, but they said it wasn't enough and I better come right into the bank to resign the loan papers since they had made a typo. Then they told me I could have my credit ruined if I didn't take care of this. I told them I would check the loan papers and get back to them. When I did, it wasn't a TYPO, they had done all the math to support the monthly figure. A typo would be just 1 mistake. Anyway they wanted another $100 per month. I called back and told them it wasn't a typo and I couldn't see why I should pay for their mistake. Even the financial disclosure had the same numbers. They again threatened me with ruining my credit. I called an attorney and he told me even though I was right I was up against a bank and I would probably loose any legal action, but he would send them a letter. In the letter we asked the bank to show us the law that gave them the right to change the loan agreement after we had both signed the papers. To make a long story short, I spoke with the president of the bank and told him as soon as he could show me the law that supported what they were asking for I would come in and sign new loan papers. Every month on the 1st of the month I called him to check the progress and the forth month he gave it and left the loan as it was. They were just bullying me and I think that is what is happening to you!

Sorry I just have to ask how they can eject you from the game? Do their by-laws give them that right? If not, for sure have your sister there, but if you know anyone on the newspaper have them cover the story. What a bad name they are giving LL! Ya know what they say about power...it corupts!

I found the e-mail address to one of the top officials in the national little league association if anybody would like it. lvanauken@littleleague.org I myself sent them an e-mail saying my dissapointment in the league. I hope this is just on your league level and not the entire orginazion.
