It seems to me that it would be a way to reduce crime among the black population. Thoughts?

By giving those people BATS???? I dont think thats a good idea.
so they could steal bases instead of TVs?
The main thing inner city folks have been asking for in recent years to improve the community is to mandate that all new hires for city jobs, police, fire, secondary schools, contractors, etc. reside within one mile of their workplace and within the city limits. This has been done for centuries in many developed countries.
Detroit seems to have a lot of open space to build some ball fields. I think that could work.
If black people would get online and ridicule you, that would cut down on crime too. I recommend they do that.

No, baseball is a horrible, boring sport that exerts way too much time pressure on the athletes and parents involved. When I have kids there is no way they will play organized baseball or softball and ruin every summer of their childhood when they are supposed to be having fun and going on vacation.
I feel sorry for the kids you don't have yet. Keep it wrapped.
Soccer's a better choice
Yes, we obviously need huge government grants to revive baseball in the inner cities.
Hope and change, people, hope and change.
I will revoke my original question and replace it with this one: will family envolvement, education, social equalization and the reintroduction of morals reduce crimes among the population. Thoughts? I'll leave it up to you to notice the key words I left. Hint, think of my normal posts...and leave out the usual suspects.
I apologize for leaving out a question mark in my previous post. I AM an idiot.

I recant my apology as I realized that I was making a statement about what my new question would be, not actually asking a question. Please forgive me stupidity. It is just rampant these days. (As a side note, it's sad when the most staunch anti-nazi proponent on the board goes all grammar-nazi on himself.)

Shutup auntieB. We'll lock you back up in the basement if you want to be a racist grammar nazi. I pitty da fool who questions my spelling.
Am I the only one that thinks baseball is a dying breed. If you look at the youth stats, you'll find that soccer stumps baseball, football, and basketball combined..
Are we gonna be a soccer powerhouse soon?
I think that's a great idea. Please make that happen B, you are a true humanitarian.
Me stupidity? Oh, what was I thinking?

Apparently, I wasn't thinking. Mystery solved.
