When baseball was a Game

[spillguy]

What has changed?

MLB players are millionairs, and parents think Little Johny or Kathy or Billy is going to be the next one. The kids start off at 4-5 and by age 9-11 have five or six years of pressure from dad or mom (yeah some of the moms are the worst). Everyone has to make the all-stars, half of the kids are playing winter ball ($), or at summer baseball camps ($$), or playing travel ball ($$$). Parents are spending $120 for a glove, $200 for a bat, etc.

Parents are protecting their "investment" both dollars and time.

It is sad.

Just one observation.....
