Good luck with that, many baseball recruiters have organizations in third world countries now, they can go thru thousands of prospects, at 1 /10th of the cost.
I used to be a baseball fan, when players were American, now, not so much because
many of the players we see now, are foreigners.

The game hasn't changed. MLB is the dominant baseball league, and because of this, players from all around the world flock to the United States to play in the best league. There will always be racists like you though, you do not like them based only on the fact they are not from this country. The United States have their share of good players, but if all 30 teams employed only Americans, baseball would not be as fun to watch because of the mediocracy of a majority of the players.

35 teams played in that tournament with an average of 14 kids on each from all over Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas as well as Oklahoma.

It was a great tourney!

Excuse me, But baseball is an American sport.
By recruiting outside the USA, you lose the
American dream. How many potential recruits aren't chosen because they live in America?
Then there is MONEY, recruiter only recruit outside the USA to get a bigger share of that players profits.
Last, how many times are immigration laws abused? While they find ways to keep them here.
The game lasted quite awhile before these immigrants were introduced, so you have no idea, if adding immigrants will change the way its played.

You sound foreign. Is English not your first language, or are you just that stupid?
