Team Moms – I Regret To Inform You That Kim Kardashian Might Have The Next Hit Reality TV Series on Her Hands, And It's About Travel Baseball Moms

Deadline – Paramount+ has set the premiere date for the Kim Kardashian-produced series Team Moms: Baseball for Thursday, September 24.

The reality series follows a group of parents whose sons attend Legendary Prep Academy: a premier baseball training school in Scottsdale, Arizona, dedicated to molding the next generation of star athletes.

While the kids compete on the field, the drama unfolds in the stands, where the parents are their children’s biggest champions and each other’s fiercest critics. Friendships are tested, and rivalries emerge; proving that baseball is more than a game, it’s a lifestyle.

“We knew immediately there was something special about this world. These families are passionate, competitive and completely all in when it comes to their kids—and sometimes what happens in the stands is just as intense as what happens on the field. That’s what makes Team Moms: Baseball so much fun to watch,” said Kim Kardashian and Natalie Ento, Executive Producers.

Is it inappropriate? Is it exploitative? Will children of the Team Mom's grow up with severe mental issues as a direct result of being involved in this travel baseball reality show? Yes. Yes to everything. But I'll be damned if this idea doesn't have legs. 

It's long been true that some of the craziest people on the planet are youth travel sports parents. Youth sports, specifically travel sports, has a way of bringing the very worst of society together. Now that a local house ball league is essentially a thing of the pass, any kid who's worth a damn is playing travel baseball. Even kids who aren't worth a damn are playing travel baseball. And whether a kid is legitimately the next Mike Trout, or has the hand-eye coordination of a drunk Michael J. Fox, has no bearing on how fucking insane their parents are. 

Just look what happened with the Tulsa, Oklahoma squad in the Little League World Series Regionals this year. They created a whole fake league. They created a fake disabled kid. Allegedly. All so they could maybe qualify for a trip to Williamsport.

I personally spent a decade umpiring youth travel baseball in Northwest Ohio. I can tell you from experience, it's a crazy world. Some of the most out of pocket shit that's ever been said to me has been said by grown adults on the ball diamond in front of a bunch of children. Baseball parents are fucking nuts. Obviously, some are worse than others. But if I know Kim Kardashian like I think I do, she's going to find the crazy ones. I can only imaging what the parents of kids who attend the "Legendary Prep Academy: a premier baseball training school in Scottsdale, Arizona dedicated to molding the next generation of star athletes" are like. Not only are they baseball moms. They're baseball moms who want to be on reality TV. 

Preemptively pour one out for all children involved in the making of Kim Kardashian's new reality series. They're going to need more than a few drinks someday to deal with whatever the hell happens on this program.

Meet the families featured in Team Moms: Baseball

The Baldris
Rylee, Dallas and Sal Baldri
If you want to win (and drink some wine), the Baldris are your family. 150% always.

The Dunmars
Melanie, Jon and KJ Dunmar
If there’s drama on the sidelines, Jon is probably involved. And if there’s plans for a pedicure, he’s definitely there.

The Feldhackers
Heather, Scott and Stryker Feldhacker
The co-parents who make it look way too easy. Divorced, totally in sync, and enough S-names to fill a roster.

The Mears
Trish, Casey and Hayden Mears
Baseball is Trish’s whole life. Add a professional racecar driver dad and you’ve got one seriously competitive family.

The Scoffones
Nina, AJ and Rocco Scoffone
The mom who says what everyone else is thinking. Nina brings the tough love — with a little Pilates and tequila on the side.

The Taylors
Trina, Joey and Jett Taylor
Retired at 40 and living their best life. If there’s a party, the Taylors are probably throwing it.

The Wolcziks 
Erin, Tommy and Cole Wolczik
Erin runs the household, Tommy has an instruction manual. She knows where everyone needs to be, he keeps the kids in line. “We’re all alive, still” counts as a successful day.

At least the kids seem to be a little bit older. The real sweet spot for insane travel baseball parents is around 10-12 years old. That's what parents feel most protective of their children. That's where sparks really fly. But still… it's one hell of a concept. The only thing crazier than reality TV people are travel sports people. So the only logical thing to do is bring them both together. Awesome stuff, Kim.
