    Its no different than saying little league baseball or high school football.

    So while it may seem redundant and annoying, I don't think it is wrong.

    FTR, I nor anybody I know says it that way.

    I do however use the word "nor".

    I think you are proving the OP's point here.

    There is college baseball, there is little league baseball, there is major league baseball. There is no major league baseball baseball
