Not past high school, and not very long then. By the time we figured out that I was having vision problems and it wasn't necessarily just that I couldn't hit a baseball anymore, it was too late to get going again.

So. What kind of insider baseball stuff that I missed out on makes it so complicated and difficult for a manager to decide whether to pinch-hit for his starter in the 6th inning? When to bring the infield in? When to pitch out? This is not rocket science stuff. A high school football coach has to deal with more complicated tactical decisions than a major-league baseball manager.
