A big kudos to the boards of both leagues for working hard and merging the leagues. This will bring better baseball to Little League in Pleasanton.

To clarify a point made in the article, Pleasanton American purchased insurance to cover theft prior to Jeremy becoming the president. The insurance policy (minus the deductible) is how the money was recouped.

Why were the two larger leagues PALL and PNLL combined and the smaller league PFLL was left by itself? Maybe all three leagues should have combined and split into two divisions giving all kids the chance to play at a higher level of competitive play.

PFLL board voted against combining 2 years in a row. The former PFLL president tried to get it passed through.

PALL was the smallest league. The original plan was to split PFLL in half and give each half to PNLL and PALL. Merging with PALL was not an option given to PFLL by the district.

PFLL was going to lose 100 players to PNLL, PALL would have lost 75 players to PNLL and the leagues would have been even between the combined PFLL/PALL and PNLL. Registration numbers would have been 600 and 630. Every league was losing players and the end result would have been balance. Now one league will have 700+ and the other will have 400+. That was PFLL's choice unfortunately.

Not sure on all the numbers, but for PFLL majors alone, 29 would have gone to PALL and 27 to PNLL.
