Sure there are problems as there are with any institution. But the do-gooders and complainers miss the kids' perspective.

Baseball is the perfect game - refined through th late 1800's to just the right dimensions for human endeavor. Kids playing ball is as close to heaven on earth as we get, the rest of us have to wait to get to the heavenly Green Cathedrals.
