Whatever Happened To Baseball (Paperback)
Product Description
By Jeff Potter, Author
This is the story of youth baseball, and how it has changed in the last 40 years. Many of these changes have been for the worse. Baseball “back in the day” was fun & innocent and filled with great coaches that taught the right life lessons out on the ball fields. Today, there are serious problems with the game. Too often power, ego, & control are the main ingredients in a baseball organization, and do not have the best interest of the kids as their top priority. If there is one lesson to learn from the book it is how much influence a coach has over a baseball player, both good and bad. Coaches need to do better, and understand the tremendous responsibility that they have in the growth of ball players, both baseball wise & emotionally.
