Quote: I went to a Greenville Drive baseball game last week a majority of the starters were from the caribbean and south america, i doubt if a majority of those kids came from middle or upper class families.
Follow the money!
There's money in Major League Baseball. That's why they are here. If we created a soccer opportunity for underpriviledged Dominicans (academies in the DR), they would be playing professionally in Mexico City, Bogota, Quito, Lima, Buenos Aires and San Salvador. They wouldn't be in Greenville, South Carolina!
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
