[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure the pro player is really sad about missing high school sports …ha. The fiction on these threads is unreal. [/quote]

Except for soccer and tennis…no American pro players missed HS sports.  The international pro hockey, baseball and basketball players don’t have any HS sports, so there wasn’t anything to miss.  [/quote]

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that many excellent athletes don’t care that they didn’t compete for their high school? The bigger problem are the guys that can’t outgrow their high school glory.[/quote]

It’s not hard to understand…it’s just not true.  You won’t find a single American MLB, NFL, or NBA player that didn’t play HS sports.  Now, they may have moved around to different private HS powerhouses…but they still played for HS teams.

NHL is a bit different in that fewer HSs have teams, but the MN and New England players also played in HS (which may have been a boarding school).[/quote]
