joe brennan I've said this before but it's worth repeating. Our kids today have so many options of what to do with their time, and they have so much of it now. Most of it is spent right here, no not on this board but in front of some type of computer screen. How many great baseball players will we never hear of because they spent talents other ways. In the depression to the 80's kids played sports. Night and day, every day. They dreamed of making it to the majors, being like their heroes. Now, so many other opertunities are there for them. Shouldn't be suprised when the major leagues will be comprised completely of Central American and or poor American kids? It won't be too long that the majority will be from Central America. They live, breath and die baseball every day. They know that it their ticket out of poverty. The majority of kids today have no interest in a game that takes 4 hours and 162 of them for a season. The only kids interested are the one's taught by their fathers. It will be awhile before they are nastalgic enough to buy cardboard, and by then pokemon will be their childhood memories. The adults are the ones that are buying packs and boxes today and the $850 packs prove that. The marketing is geared for us with disposible income, not for a kid with a $10 allowance. Joe
People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.
