Reply to "How much money do you spend for baseball on your child each year?"

Let me remind everyone that deep pockets does NOT “make” a baseball player nor does a tight budget eliminate a ball player from success. Let me give you an example. My son played high school baseball with a player one year ahead of him. This player’s mother was divorced and in my opinion didn’t have the extra money to spend on showcases, camps, and select teams. After high school he went the JUCO route, did well at the JUCO, transferred to a D-I after his sophomore year, had a great junior season and was drafted in the 15th round. He's driving around in his new Tahoe and just finished his first year with the Astro’s organization.
