Some of our JV teams are better than many varsity squads in some other areas. Just the way it is.

It's not that way here. I have had one player get to MLB in 34 years of umpiring.

The SoCal area in general is a hotbed for baseball due to the climate. Baseball is played year-round and is comparable to HS football in the state of Texas. It's a pretty serious deal.

And generally, baseball doesn't have to compete with that silly game played with nets on sticks. That sport has really hurt baseball in the northeast.

Has Muggle Quidditch grown so astronomically in SoCal? I did not know that!
