Winfield
Let's not forget Winfield's great point about "continuity."
He was talking about why young black's don't play baseball and mentioned that one cannot play youth ball through to draft age for free anymore. It's pay to play.
Even I remember it being tough to find a summer team when I was growing up (1970's). Are there even leagues for 13-18 year olds outside the high school JV and varsity teams anymore?
Think about that next time we get all wraped around the Little League World Series next summer. Most of the kids these kids played against have finished their "careers" at age 12.
