Episode 6 - Mailbag #2, Bruce, All-Star voting

[redsrbetter]

I say we all go and vote for guys who deserve the All-Star nod. Ken Griffey Jr is a leading vote getter. Are you kidding me? And Josh Hamilton has to be voted in. I hate casual fans.

Maybe it is just where I live now that gives me the bad impression of the lack of interest in sports from today's youth. I live in Wyoming where it is freezing and I see a vast difference in the appreciation of sports from where I grew up (California) to where I live now. I wrote an article about this and it is somewhere here in the forums. It seems that many kids have focused their interest on video games rather than actually going outside and becoming the next Ken Griffey Jr.

Because of that, I fear many would be studs in sports will miss their opportunity as they will never realize their talent. Then again, I am solely judging this on what I see in Wyoming. Maybe I can at least guarantee you that there will be no talent coming out of this state forever. Afterall, they don't even have high school level baseball in the state's capitol.


Excellent work again fellas. + big rep.

Thanks bro. Despite what you see in Wyoming (and not having high school baseball in the capitol is VERY sad) I think it's solely from the location difference. I agree with you on the all-star thing.

I sound like a regular guy. Ask nick (from when we played Halo months ago)

Hey redsrbetter, I noticed this on ESPN.com. Is this maybe something you were talking about when you mentioned the lack of talent being a possibility in the future?
