TruExact Show - Ep 211 - JOHN W. MILLER (WHAT HAPPENED TO LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL?)Update: 2025-07-27
Description
On this episode we are joined by journalist John W. Miller. I came across an article he wrote years ago about the downfall of Little League in this country and how it has become a money making scheme instead of the past time we once knew. This peaked my interest because i grew up with Little League being one of the best times of my lives along with my friends and I've also heard rumbling how its dying.
