Bam Bam league lets toddlers play baseball in Des Moines
In central Iowa a Bam Bam baseball league for 3 to 5 year olds operates with no outs no scores and no fouls. Ten teams of 14 players each play six games as adults supervise on large plastic bats and sand tee. Proponents say it teaches basics and joy while critics note it is not Little League sanctioned and raises revenue through candy sales.
