'It was kind of like going into a battlefield unprepared and unarmed,' says Valerie Duran of her son's U13 baseball season this summer. BC Minor Baseball Association rules forced the A team to move up to AA, where it lost games by as much as 0-35.
Kids playing on a Burnaby baseball team spent five weeks getting “massacred” by their opponents this summer because of BC Minor Baseball Association rules one local mom thinks should have been applied more thoughtfully.
Because of an influx of players in the same age range, however, BC Minor Baseball Association rules led to the team being bumped up to the AA level for the summer season, according to Duran. But she said BC Minor Baseball dismissed an appeal from the Burnaby Baseball Association at the beginning of the season to keep the team in A.
