At the risk of alienating even more non-US sports fans, perhaps basketball would make for a more apt sports metaphor. How long did it take high-schoolers Kevin Garnet, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwight Howard to be dominant in the NBA?
p.s. I went to high school with the late Mark Fidrych.

You have to keep things simple for us Americans (motivation for FCPx?). We could have used a football reference (or as us simple American’s say, “soccer”) but we would have had to do too much googling to come up with proper analogies. Humble pardon’s to our international friends for such self-absorption. It’s a generational thing. We’re ALMOST ready to be a part of the world.

Discussion on baseball is what this thread is about.
For the minority of humanity that does not understand the game of baseball, a large part of this thread is devoid of meaningful information.

Excellent! Many threads seem to go down the “baseball” route these days.

It really is a blast when you’re at the game. If you haven’t had a chance to attend a baseball game, I hope you get to soon.

[Craig Seeman] ” like a team that dumped its veterans too soon.”
I was at the #65 Yankees’ Old Timers Game last June. Yes, the New York Yankees are a corporation, with a billion-dollar valuation. And their history is long and illustrious enough to have started having old timers’ games 65 years ago.
I saw things I thought I never would. Yogi Berra, Joe Torre, Reggie Jackson, Lou Pinella and about 46 other icos of the sport. Tino Martinez hit a home run into the left field bleachers during the two-inning game between the “Bombers” and the “Clippers”. Talk about a living Field of Dreams.
And believe it or not, the “closer” in the regular game versus the Colorado Rockies was Mariano Rivera, who is actually “average age” for some of the old timers, and is one of the senior citizens of MLB, and currently holds the records in his category. For those who aren’t familiar to the game — a “closer” is the watertight pitcher that comes in to pitch the last inning who “closes down” the opposing team, sealing the win.
Too bad Apple eats its young. They trade out and retire their stars before they can even reach maturity in most cases.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

[Joseph Owens] “They trade out and retire their stars before they can even reach maturity in most cases.”
Maybe a good analogy is that Apple is much like former baseball team owner Charlie Finely (Oakland A’s).
You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to read this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_FinleyWhile not a perfect comparison, he was known for trying to change the rules, wanted orange baseballs, 3 balls instead of 4 for a walk I believe.
He succeeded with the Designated Hitter rule though.
He was known for wanting to trade or sell players while at their peak.
Sorry for those who are being hit with all the Baseball comparisons.
I was the MLB Post Production Video Engineer when the “Avid dropping Mac” announcement happened so all this ties together in my head. -
