The program depends on volunteers who supervise 168 boys on 12 teams plus an All-Star squad. Umpires, base coaches, coaches, and YMCA baseball committee members amount to 25, 33, and 14 respectively, with many mothers washing uniforms and cheering during a ten game season. Every major league game requires each boy to bat at least once and record three outs in the field.
An umpire laments criticism from parents and reflects on the goal of Little League. He cites a six inning game with 146 calls and notes many missed calls yet stresses responsibility and fair play. He recalls a pitcher who learned to choose pitching over acting and thanks the youth for lessons learned. Enthusiastic supporters include Ike Maggert and J. C. Penney Co. Washington Cleaners.
