i played baseball all through high school, I got a scholarship to play at an HBCU but i lost my passion for the game

I had dudes in the dugout with me say the game was boring. multiple times. they were on the team to stay in shape for other sports in the off season

the reason why all you nikkas sound stupid is simple: BASEBALL IS THE ONLY SPORT THAT WILL PAY YOU TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY.

if you never make it, you could easily pocket 40-50K a year salary in the minor leagues.
:mindblown:
Football players on the practice squad make twice as much as that :mindblown:

:patrice: so if I told you that you could work a job, any job - earn a living wage (which is what 40-50k is)

and you are GUARANTEED. not a high probability of, but GUARANTEED a salary of over 1 million dollars a year if you are good enough at this job

you'd scoff at it!?! this is intelligent thinking? this is rational logic!?

the dudes who ride the bench in MLB are making at least 1 million, it's been this way since the 90's

no NBA/NFL player can say that....

again, you dudes can call baseball a "white boy sport" all you want, meanwhile brothers in MLB are making bank:

you have developmental league, A, AA, and AAA leagues - all just to prep you for the major leagues <<<they all PAY.

if you never make it, you could easily pocket 40-50K a year salary in the minor leagues.

but nikkas would rather run the streets or work stocking groceries at wal-mart at 3 AM :mindblown:
I didn't play because it was too white at my school. I was more gifted then everyone by a mile. Wish I had that gift in Basketball but growing up, Baseball was the only sport I liked

They don't let people do shyt.
In the early 90s a bunch of my friends used to get together to play baseball games and the park managers would come and kick us out. We would always hop the fence after they left but it was always a pain in the ass.

I imagine it's still the same in most areas.
Some cacs holding fields hostage because of "permits".

THIS! "Get off the field! We just got done trimming the grass!" Really man. Always some excuse to not let us play ball
