Totally agree with you and SD has some very good teams this year....We seen you guys, Renegades 97, and PS 97 already and all 3 have solid teams and very respectable to say the least....I am sure there are more we just haven't played or seen them yet but those 3 are all good teams for sure....It's just OC is exactly like you said....The population and amount of girls to kids to choose from is really amazing.....

San Diego must be doing something right -- their kids brought home both A and B Titles this year. Using a scoring system like that used at track meets, San Diego county they beat Orange county in travel ball this year in 12U. Orange County beat San Diego in Rec Allstar ball. tie goes to the strength in Travel. For that matter LA County beat Orange County and every other county in Travel ball ....

Way to break it down

And to use a sampling of only one year is meaningless. Go back a few years and let us know how San Diego has fared this century.

SD Thunder won Nats a few years back
SD Astros 5 times
SD Power Surge
I probably missed a few.

[Mystic93]

Wes, you beat me to the punch. While the question is a valid one, the fact that us San Diego folk have to DRIVE 300 MILES EVERY WEEKEND pretty much answers the question I think. Believe me, if there was SO much SD talent, we'd save the drive (and gas $) and stay home.

My home away from home by the way is the Fountain Valley Courtyard by Marriott...there's been a few Coors Lights stacked on tables in that lobby over the last few years...

[JustPlayTheGame]

I agree OC has more talent based on having more teams and players. However, San Diego certainly belongs in the conversation when you consider their good teams are REALLY GOOD. For examle...So Cal Breakers, San Diego Aztecs97, Renegades97, Renegades95, TNL95, Power Surge96, etc.

The only good SD teams you mentioned above are TNL95 and PS96. I have a little love for Renegades, only because we have some friends there, but overall none of the others are worthy enough to be in the same sentence as TNL95 or PS96.

Don't get me wrong, San Diego does have some talented players, but winning Nationals in 12u does not come close to qualifing as the city with the most talent.

JMO

San Diego Renegades-Aguirre is a strong 14u team, especially with the Bonita Valley players joining that organization.

[STR8CALLER]

who's thier team...oh yeah the Padres

you must be from oc(thier)come on everybody in San Diego can spell their........DUH!!!

[CharlieHough]

Why the heck am I driving to SD if all of the talent is in OC???????

[Skarp]

Pride in geographical location, which at base seems to be what this thread is about (or at least what it has turned into), is about as idiotic as idiotic gets. It is the equivalent of being proud of your ethnicity...or anything else that you have no control over and nothing to do with.

[J Fierce]

Nice analogy SKARPel tunnel. Unfortunatly its apples and oranges. You take a thread that is just for arguments sake waaaaaaay to serious. Don't you have a twitter account you can ramble on?
