It’s the kids who have no chance, which is 90% of them, whose parents make a fun game a nightmare for a kid who just wants to have fun.

And I’ll go one step further, those same parents aren’t spending afternoons working with their children to improve their skills. They’re relying on 1, maybe 2 hours a week of practice with their coaches who have anywhere between 12-15 players to coach. And nothing is happening on the weekends except games, which is no small matter, but really makes up very little of what makes a successful ballplayer.

And most importantly, are these kids WILLINGLY working on their game in the off-season? Not being pushed by parents? If not, just send more of your money to the government so they can at least waste it in creative ways.
