I think the ones who appear on ESPN and ABC should. They are making a small fortune for the networks and the sponsors like ACE Hardware and such. Child actors get paid for making people money, why not these kids who appear on TV? I wouldn't go giving them hard cash, but I'd definitely set up a trust for them, say $1000 per kid. Little League makes MILLIONS each year. The Networks make MILLIONS from televising these games. Of course the kids should get more than a pizza party. If this were happening in China we'd be waving flags and boycotting Walmart.

definetly not
as a former little leaguer (played baseball/softball since age 4) and still playing, it would be nice to get paid but if i did i would most likely lose my love of the game for what it is, not how much it pays. also i would feel forced to play year after year instead of being asked to. let them be kids while they can.

I think it sends the wrong message to pay kids to play. As it is, the atheletes who are getting paid are sending the wrong message to kids by saying, "I'll only play for a contending team that will pay me the millions I need." These kids play for the love of the game and its purity. And parents sometimes cheat even then to get a kid on the team (remember Danny Almonte?). No, don't pay them. Baseball at that age is about having fun.

No, they shouldn't get paid. They should play because they love the game.

The networks should establish scholarship funds which reward winning teams and players. But, to pay the players, I say no way.

No they are just having fun. High school kids don't get paid. College kids don't get paid.
