Re: Hypothetical Sports Contest #2
David,
"I was under the impression that the majority of athletes who make it to the pros in any of the trhee major sports was probably a star in all three sports in high school."
I don't know what the numbers are, but the percentage is way, way lower than it used to be. Top prospects are identified and groomed at a very early age nowadays. Lots of McDonald's All-American level guys (the caliber guys who make it to the NBA) are working on basketball year-round rather than playing baseball or football or track or whatever in the off-season.
