    They should get scholarships, which they probably already get, but getting paid is kind of extreme :/

    There are a lot of fees involved with little league. As a parent I know it cost a lot of money for my daughter to play on a travel team. $$ goes towards uniforms,team equipment, field rentals, batting cages, pitching coaches, batting coaches. I would not expect Little League to pay my child for playing. She should play for the love of the sport not for the money. It would be nice if the World Series will help with the cost of the team travel expenses. If not then I will chalk it up as a once in a lifetime experience.

    They just play for fun, not to get paid. It is a game that is supposed to be fun, not stressful. No set back, these kids are awesome ball players, just getting payed is pretty extreme.

    the first question is who pay them/ second my personal feelings are that tournement teams/ play to play teams and the monies involved in sports is destroying the game/ fewer kids are playing (many can't afford it) and even at the MLB level the game is being taken over by players outside of the country where community ball is still alive and doing well
