Baseball? Really? That's a sport for kids who can't play LAX. |

I am not sure it is the "best" but G Prep's program for baseball is very impressive. Kids play in the summer leagues so I would suggest you attend some varsity and JV games and make your own assessment.

More like one for those who can correctly spell out lacrosse! But the world always needs more bonehead lax bros . . . |

In the DMV a Prep-Landon LAX game will draw thousands - overflow crowds. A high school baseball game? Maybe a few dozen parents. I understand it's quite different in the Dominican Republic though. |

Hey, 08:16: Come back and post when a local private school grad gets a $6.35 million signing bonus to play professional lacrosse. |

| So, in 2008 St. Albans had a really good baseball player? Is that the point of the referenced article? Did the signing bonus actually get paid? Is commercialism the best measure of athleticism? |

OP, if you are still reading and haven't become distracted by the drivel spouted by lacrosse fans, here's some thoughts:
1. Currently St. John's is the strongest program, as reflected in some of the prior posts. 2. In the IAC, Georgetown Prep also has had a nice program, particularly in the last 5 years or so. 3. If you are not interested in going the Catholic school route, St. Albans probably has the strongest baseball tradition (including various alums drafted within the past 5 years) and beat Georgetown Prep in the IAC tournament to win the league this year, so they also have a strong current program. 4. Another nice option is Maret -- a very strong program in the last 5 years in particular, including last year when they had a team with multiple Division I signees. Their coach runs a good club program, DC Dynasty. Good luck -- despite the strength of lacrosse in this area, there's a lot of good baseball option. |

Actually, Lax is a sport for kids who can't play baseball, golf, or soccer. |
