The present Leadership of Baseball came into power with the dilemma/impasse in place.  As visionary leaders, the sport has been rejuvenated, but their legacy will also be judged on whether they pass the future baton leaving the same problem unresolved.

With the recent promise of the new Andre Rodgers NATIONAL BASEBALL COMPLEX to commence construction in the next few months, returning SENIOR BASEBALL PLAYERS and those presently at home can begin their preparation for try-outs to represent their Country at the highest levels of the sport.
