TruExact Show - Ep 211 - JOHN W. MILLER (WHAT HAPPENED TO LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL?)

On this episode we are joined by journalist John W. Miller. I came across an article he wrote years ago about the downfall of Little League in this country and how it has become a money making scheme instead of the past time we once knew. This peaked my interest because i grew up with Little League being one of the best times of my lives along with my friends and I've also heard rumbling how its dying. John W. Miller is a writer, baseball coach, and contributing writer at America Magazine. He has reported from six continents and over forty countries for The Wall Street Journal and has also written for Time, NPR, and The Baltimore Sun. He has coached two Brussels teams to Little League World Series tournaments and has scouted for the Baltimore Orioles. @JWMJournalist. 0:00-6:05 John's background 6:06-10:19 What happened to LL Baseball ? 10:20-15:24 Club Teams/Costs 15:25-20:02 Economic Incentive 20:03-23:13 Our Experiences 23:14-24:21 Chris' HR off Jack Leiter 24:22-26:16 Can skill be taught through classes? 26:17-28:40 Is the system too broken to fix?? 28:41-34:55 Delusional Parents 34:56-44:20 Final Questions.
