"Whatever happened to Baseball"?

Jeff Potters "Whatever happened to Baseball" book is a recommended read. This is is the story of youth baseball, and how it has changed in the last 40 years.

Many of these changes have been for the worse. Baseball “back in the day” was fun & innocent and filled with great coaches that taught the right life lessons out on the ball fields. For more information about the book visit potterbaseball.com.
