They can't stand to lose and especially can't stand to lose to people who they perceive to spend less on baseball and who's lives don't revolve around it.

And I hate to bring up politics but the entitled rich families often vote for republicans!

This really burns the up.
They attribute those losses to bad luck.

I've heard and seen it all from those people. Baseball parents are the worst. Most are well off and entitled jerks.

The whole club baseball circuit exists so they don't have to play with the more athletic kids (i.e. athletically gifted minorities) who can't afford to spend thousands a year playing baseball.

I don’t understand whom you might be referring to.

Go take a trip to a youth baseball tournament. It's all rich UMC kids because the price of these clubs excludes everyone else. They aren't the best athletes and most of them will fail by high school.

But damn do today parents swallow the Kool aid and think little Larlo is the next Mike Trout despite being undersized, slow, and lacking in everu athletic trait (just like them).

When they see their kid up against other suburban kids from the neighborhood they look like they are on their way to the Yankees. They forget there’s a vast world out there including the Dominican Republic where talent can be found.

Wut? Baseball does not exactly require a ton of athleticism. I think you’re deeply confused.

Must be a travel ball parent who doesn't understand strength, speed, and athleticism matter a lot in baseball. It's the rich parents who can't accept that you can't buy talent.

But keep paying for your son to take a thousand soft toss reps. I'm sure it'll pay off. Lol

Strength? Yes. Speed? Yes. Athleticism? Nope. Sorry, baseball is one of the most leisurely sports out there.

Yes I'm sure Aaron judge lacks in athleticism.

I love how you go straight to the most athletic specimen in MLB history to make your point. Baseball players are more athletic than the average Joe, but they’re not even close (you know, overall) to basketball or soccer players, for example.

One can have an incredible talent for something like baseball and also not be particularly athletic.

The average professional baseball player is over 6'0 and 200 lbs.

They are way, way, way more athletic than the average person. The exception is some pitchers. Real baseball requires strength, speed, and power. Your average pro baseball player is more athletic than 99.9% of the population.

The bolded is in no way, shape, or form a proxy for athleticism. But I think the fact that you think it is means we are not working with the same definition of athleticism.

(And there are plenty of exceptions who aren’t pitchers, get real. There are lots of lardbutts in the MLB who can’t move for sh!t but they’re really, really good at hitting a ball with a bat.)

Next you're going to tell us how nfl lineman aren't athletic.

You clearly haven’t been to top tournaments in GA or Alabama.

These clubs are fine letting good kids play for free (even if you are rich)…but the best players do play travel.

There is a very wealthy local white kid for Georgetown Prep that just played on the 18u USA Baseball team that won worlds…as well as kids like Ethan Halliday who is also wealthy and will probably be the #1 MLB draft pick next July.

Harvard Westlake and Corona in LA also have some likely MLB 1st and 2nd rounders and they are both wealthy and kids of former MLB players.

How cool of them to let the poor kids play with them.

Baseball is a rich kid sport because parents don't want their kids competing against the real athletes. Same with club soccer.
