Talking The Worst Baseball and Sports Program

All,

It has been several years since I have logged on here. Go to:

What Wilson?s 21-year streak tells us about DCPS sports - The Washington Post

This may be the worst big city high school sports program in the nation. (I have heard that Detroit might be as bad.) I have umpired some of these schools and even wrote about it for officiating.com. The article understates how bad these programs really are.

In my article for officiating.com, I opined that a quality 13 year old prep team could beat one of these high school varsity teams. It is that bad.

I wonder if this is an issue because DC is unique compared to all other major metropolitan areas in the country. I really don't know how it works, but I'm guessing that other cities receive some sort of state funding to help with its youth programs.
