and of all the great players from that team who has made themselves anything in the big leagues? Ben Sheets is all I can think of off the top of my head and he plays for the Brewers.
Our, as you called them, 'castoffs' were better than anything the entire world could throw at us. Who cares if they didn't make it to the pros, they have an Olympic gold medal...DO YOU?
My point is they didnt qualify even this year after winning gold. Yes what they did was awesome winning that gold in 2000 cause they werent even the favorites. The mens baseball expectations are a lot lower then our basketball expectations.
USA needs to recruit a team. Rather than 15 fuckin showboaters. LeBron James and Iverson both got benched for not coming to practice. I'd rather have the Stanford Men's team out there. It's a fuckin embarrassment.
