or maybe not, I'm not sure
As a child, I played for a select team in Memphis called the East Memphis Tigers. As little league teams go, we were incredibly coddled - 4 or 5 different uniforms (I don't remember) and we basically chose whoever we wanted for our team.
Well this team dominated the Memphis area relentlessly. I do remember travelling down to Mississippi and playing all black teams. This was the early 80's and most of us had never played or associated with anyone but whites. We typically won and won big, but I remember one game where a towering home run was hit unlike anything any of us had ever seen. Up to that point we had felt like we were unbeatable and our opponents were just fodder. That home run has always stuck with me and aftewards I came to the conclusion that we were superior only through coaching and discipline, not raw talent.
I bring that up only because I'm watching a team from Indiana play a team from Chigago and this looks very familiar to me.
