Why I Prefer Baseball by Daniel Henninger

The road up in baseball is different. Promising teenagers go from high school into baseball’s minor leagues. They play for teams in places like Delmarva, Clinton and Greenville. They travel by bus and play before crowds not much bigger than what they had in Little League. They rise from A ball to AA (say, the Trenton Thunder) then AAA teams, which are in places most people have heard of, like Toledo, Fresno or El Paso.

Not only a good repudiation of the ungrateful football players, but an unintended criticism of the college pipeline for football players. Lots to think about there.
