Agreed... However its a misconceptions that the WMBL (Dawgs) would be better than a Rookie League team and to say that they are better than the Vipers were is just not true.
WMBL players are college level players - just learning to swing wood, the speed of the game etc... While Rookie level players aren't that much more advanced they are still advanced players - the level of play is DRAMATICALLY better and far more consistent.
The Vipers (more so the Northern League version than the GBL version) is FAR superior to the Dawgs - no contest... You have the majority of players that have played for professionally for 2-3 years - you even have the odd player on each team with big league time.
The Dawgs might claim they are equal or superior - but they aren't even close... Just like Vipers fans would have said I bet the Vipers could play with the Cannons - it wouldn't even have been close.
The Dawgs play great baseball and have an amazing program don't get me wrong I know them and the founders of the program well - all I'm saying is saying the WMBL is even or better that Northern League or Rookie league is just not accurate.
