What makes a major league baseball player?

agreeableone asked:


While watching the league playoffs, I wondered where did these guys come from? They are from different countries, ethnic groups, religions and have a wide variety of ages and physiques.

Have you read a book, or studied baseball players and baseball for a long time? Did you learn what brings one young boy up to the major leagues, while another never leaves the sand lot or little league?

Why did Major League Baseball disable digital download of baseball game broadcasts?

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Yupon Bachi-Bazouk asked:


Last year, Major League baseball had a wonderful feature: For $3.99 each, you could download any baseball game during the regular season (.wmv format), as well as all post-season games and a wide variety of famous games from the past.

This year, that feature has disappeared. I wonder why. It is absolutely a no-lose proposition for MLB, because there are bound to be quite a few people like myself who are willing to pay a modest sum for the ability to build a personal library of baseball game broadcasts.
