I've got to miss tonight's game.
My wife and I are taking our three year old granddaughter to Marquette to watch our five year old granddaughter play soccer.
Gotta miss my seven year old grandsons Little League game as well.
How about them Tigers🤗
I just don't get the whole age thing in major league baseball.
These kids have been playing high level baseball for most of their lives.
Many of them have had stellar college careers and then they are drafted around the age of 21.
So many of the young kids languish in the minors for their whole career.
What happened?
Now I keep hearing that at age 25 they are too old.
At the age of 25 they have been playing baseball for over 17 years.
It just stumps me that these young kids take so long to get major league ready.
Probably "most" never make it.
I get tired of waiting!
Do catchers wear a bigger catchers mitt for knuckle ballers in this day and age.
I seem to remember in the past,when a knuckle baller came in, some catchers went to a bigger mitt.
Baltimore in the 60's or 70's comes to mind.
