You're trying to compare one school with a Kentucky All Star team? Enough said.

 

 

Actually, you are trying to compare the tallent pool of a city to the tallent pool of an entire state.

 

I 've seen the best of AABC, ( we played in the 15U AABC Mickey Mantel World Series in Norman OK 5 years ago) and the best of Kentucky ( we played there in 2007 ) and the wider tallent pool had the best tallent by far.

 

Enough said.

I disagree. We played AABC for 8 years, 3 of those years we played with one of the better AABC teams in Cincinnati. The homefield was Princeton HS so naturally we had several Princetton kids, as well as kids from Elder, Moeller, LaSalle ect.

 

That's a bit like saying the tallent pool from 8 Cincinnati schools, 120 kids is going to be greater then the tallent pool from 200 State of Kentucky schools, maybe 3000 kids.

 

If I was going to start a team from scratch and I had my choice of looking at 120 kids or 3000 kids I think I would have better odds from the larger pool.

 

Besides playing AABC and watching the 2, 9 inning games with Kentucky's best 38 to 40 players, I don't think there is a school in Cincinnati that could have competed with either the East or West Kentucky All Stars.

 

I certainly think you have better odds drawing from 3000, but there is a very considerable talent pool in the Cinncinnati area. I'd bet that if you pulled a list of Division I signees over the past few years the Cincinnati vs. Kentucky numbers would be comparable, not to mention draftees.

 

I do think it would be a competitive game though for sure. There certainly wouldn't be a staggering difference in talent one way or the other.

 

BTW, IMO the team from Princeton of which you speak is not one of the elite teams, talent wise, in the Cincinnati area.

The Princeton HS team was not a powerhouse, but the summer team made up from a half dozen Cincinnati school players and a couple from Northern Kentucky was. Could we have formed a better team by taking the top 2 players in each Region in the state of Kentucky? Without a doubt.

The bottom line is that there is very good baseball being played in this area.

 

I think an all-star game between Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati would be a great idea. Heck, you could throw in a few players from the Lexington area too. It'd be great for everyone involved and it'd be special to play in Great American.

Northwest baseball coach Dan Roberts is seeking input regarding a possible All-Star game between Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio teams. It would be soon after the regular season and playoffs finish, and Roberts hopes Great American Ball Park would be the site

Depends on who you ask.

Depends on who you ask.

 

Depends on how many all-star caliber players they have.

Could have a couple that could help against Southwest Ohio team.

IF they have a lefty who can bring it, they're NKY.

No lefties so I guess they would not be invited if this game would happen
