Not just team fees. Depends a lot on age and geography and where the team plans to travel to play.
In one calendar year (granted the pitching machine and batting cage were purchased that year), I spent as much on two DDs as my brand new (minimally equipped) '05 F-150.
That includes lessons, team fees, airfares (to So Cal, CO, wherever ASA Nats were - pre PGF, hotels, etc.), whatever THE bat was at the time, girls caught back then so that gear was in there.
Not for the faint of heart!
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.
