I'm so completely tracking with PGStaff on this. COMPLETELY.

And since I love this thread, I'll throw something else controversial into the mix:

I submit that as young as HS, there are a lot of young men out there who everyone, including parents, know that -- barring serious injury -- have overwhelmingly good odds of playing pro baseball.

They conclude that for all the right reasons -- the ones we talk about here constantly.

Young men like that would be foolish not to go hard after their dream -- because the odds are actually very good.

Editing this to try to be clearer: I submit that parents like Bum,TPM and others here KNEW their sons had very good odds early on.

OK, ''splain to me how I'm wrong
