Most of these sound good, but aren't true. If you go to poor countries where baseball is popular, you'll see people practicing in the street, with whatever makeshift ball and bat the can find. I saw Cubans practicing with sticks and balls of paper.
However, it's difficult to get adults to organize that kind of thing. I wonder if the fact that kids need adults to drive them is a factor.
That last bit is speculation. What's true is that numbers 1-3 aren't really a bar to practice, if the kids actually care.
- richmarr 11y agoIs baseball is a thing elsewhere? Aside from Japan, and now apparently Cuba, I haven't heard of it being played anywhere. Most of the world plays football (soccer for the US folks here).
- graeme 11y agoA lot of Latin American countries play it, far more intensely than Americans do. http://espn.go.com/mlb/latinosrise/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=2350816 http://espn.go.com/mlb/latinosrise/columns/story?columnist=s...
