Some sports are easier to jump on the field without much experience and be an impact player based on tools, athleticism and a modicum of hand-eye coordination. Lacrosse is one of those sports. An athlete can "join" lacrosse in the teenage years and be successful. An athlete cannot "join" baseball in the teenage years and have any hope to be successful. Baseball has a one-way gate and can only lose players as they get older. It's always been this way, and lacrosse is the latest beneficiary. I suspect other sports (football?) that used to get these athletes are losing them to lacrosse.
