TBobI don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but high school and American Legion baseball is suffering. Down South high school football coaches are now requiring attendance during the summer at weightlifting sessions and skull sessions for all players who hope to play in the Fall. Players must make 27 of the 28 meetings or not play. High school basketball coaches are pushing their players to play summer AAU basketball. Now in the South we have Spring practices for the football team. More and more the better athletes are having to choose between Baseball and football or basketball and baseball is coming in a distant third. Is it any wonder why you see fewer and fewer Black baseball players and more and more foreign baseball players?
