Hey Coach,
What has happend to the beloved game of baseball? I never thought I would say this - but it's messed up now.

Hey Yub,
You said it. Major League Baseball is seriously messed up right now. Players are getting paid millions of dollars to play baseball and they're still talking about going on strike. Ticket prices keep going up. The league wants to get rid of teams in Montreal, Minnesota and Florida. Many of the players are pounding steroids so they can hit more homeruns. The list of problems in baseball is longer and uglier than Randy Johnson's mullet.

If a fat, slobby pitcher isn't happy making millions of bucks to pitch once a week and a kid needs to save a year's worth of allowance so he can go to a game, then something is seriously wrong. But just because pro baseball has its problems, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game of baseball. It's still a great game to play. Instead of watching cry-baby pros on TV, go outside and play the game with your friends. The problems with pro baseball shouldn't make you lose interest in America's past time.

Do you have a question on sports, P.E. class, fitness or health? Got a gripe about a particular sport like baseball, hockey, tennis or football? to the Kidzworld Coach. Keep in mind peeps, the Kidzworld Coach isn't a doctor or a professional athlete or anything like that. He's just a dude who digs sports, plays 'em and knows a lot about 'em. You should always talk to your 'rents, a doctor or your school gym teacher before starting a new sport or a new exercise.
