Originally posted by nimzo5This is a good point, in that activities like baseball have finite room at the top (25 players per team with 32 teams), while there is not quota or limit to the number of performance-related titles that can be earned, other than population, of course!
Something like 150-200 children a year get a cup of coffee in the Majors, maybe 50-100 ever have a major league career of any note.
Meanwhile there has been an explosion in the number of GM's in the last twenty years.
I would guess if you threw in IM's that Chess might be a better bet than Major League Baseball...
unless you know how to teach a lefty how to throw a knuckler.
