As a child that played baseball in WI, it was excruciating to get a season in, hence many schools played it as a summer sport while others tried like hell in spring. There's a reason there's been a grand total of one kid picked in the 1st round of the MLB draft from the state of WI. Jarred Kelenic, just 3 years ago, now on Mariners thanks to Mets stupidity.
I get why UW bailed out, but that doesn't mean Barry should be pissing on it.
