Reply to "Are high school Baseball coaches good role model for high achievers"

Hi Wave,

This is timely, because just yesterday, at the 2nd round of states, my son (jv catcher) and his teammates were discussing whether or not asst coach has his PhD in Math, or is still working on it. Thinking about it, I realize that son and the boys he was with, about half the team, are all honor roll students taking multiple AP and honors classes. I honestly see no evidence that there is "something particular about baseball that doesn't inspire kids to think far and high." Given the aspirations of the boys at his school, I'd say a majority of players are actually classic "over-achievers" -- though I've never thought a person could literally over achieve!

Now, if you want to talk political leanings and baseball.....never mind! Too loaded a topic!
