They are young men who love to play the greatest game on earth.. By trying out and making the team they deserve to play... All they wanna do is play why not give them the common courticy in playing 7 innings... Dont degrade these kids because they may not have the skill level as others... They are in love with the game you say you love so 2 more ininngs isn't going to hurt anyone... There are people all over the world that would absolutely KILL to play this great game but can't for different reasons and those of us that can should feel blessed... We shouldn't take away what these kids have earned.
