"... What is to be done." Yes, Little League Baseball is hurt'in. Somehow we need to get kids involved in Little League - that's a good starting point.
Kids today have much more at their disposal than when we were kids - primarily Video games. We didn't have video games to the extent we do now back in the 70's & 80's.
My son is a Freshman in high school. He has a friend who has scholastic talent, but got C's and D's in school this past semester ... because he overloaded on video games. Sad, very sad. Now this kids college future is in jeopardy already. Is it worth it, is it worth all the time playing video games?
Just look around the neighborhoods - how many kids are out riding their bikes, playing Hide 'n Seek, Playing touch football, playing whiffle ball in the street ? Not many.
