How old were you when you started playing sports?

I was beginning middle school, around 10-12y.o. when I tried out for the bball team

I wasn't thinking about money, at all

But you're wrong

If money was the motivator, the NFL would be the last option because the contracts aren't guaranteed

We would see more black MLBers if that was the case

And before somebody says baseball is cost prohibitive, DR disagrees

NBAers may make more on average

But there's so many more professional baseball players, leagues, etc...the potential to actually turn pro is greater

The shift away from baseball was after Barry Bonds...somehow he's the fall guy for the steroid era.
