Global Recruiting

There comes a point in a boy's life
when he realizes
for the first time
that his boyhood dream
of becoming a
professional baseball player
can actually be
calculated
mathematically,
by his accountant father,
to round out
to be about
1 in 1,575,000,
the number increasing rapidly
with a constant rise in immigration and a higher emphasis on
global scouting.

Then it becomes a point in that boy's life
when he can just relax
and enjoy the rest of his
tee-ball season.
