Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

An interesting article on the importance of Little League and athletics in the civic development of children:
This lesson—that hard work can lead to excellence—is one that can transform lives. Almost all of life in a capitalist society involves some form of competition. Young athletes learn the formula for success in a market-based system. And the evidence says they outperform their peers throughout their lifetimes...When citizens believe that hard work determines success, they tend to build leaner and more economically efficient governments.

Get those kiddies out on the ball field!
