Gerald Hall, the director of a youth baseball program in Washington, says:
“Baseball is a game taught by fathers, while basketball and football are more often taught by peers in pickup games.
If you did a survey, I believe you’d find that the one thing average and above-average baseball players have in common is a father.
Baseball is, at heart, a father-and-son sport.
And if you’re a kid that has nobody to throw to, nobody to talk to, nobody to discipline you in the way that baseball demands, you’re not likely to play the game.” Source
