But Wait It Gets Worse! Summer Pitching Abuse

Not to turn the pod into your local evening news, where if it bleeds, it leads, but man do we have some terrible stuff to cover today!

• Willie Mays, Rickwood Field, Reggie Jackson & Racism
• 10 year old teams who have played more than 90 games on the year
• Pitch counts approaching 200 over the course of a tournament weekend
• Big leaguers who can't throw strikes

And who can change the majority of the above issues - at least the ones that are specific to youth baseball? It's the people who are responsible for decisions in youth baseball - parents and coaches.

Yes there are some video glitches in this episode. Yes I'm annoyed about it. Yes we appreciate you all for watching and listening!
