I'm willing to bet that a good chunk of the players in the league didn't start playing until high school, or at the very least middle school.
And they let Billy Crystal try out for the Yankees this season, so whats your fucking point?

Anyone can try out, its usually a way to get some press.

You cant just walk onto the field, that is why a kid could never walk from High school straight to the pros.

Basketaball, Hockey, Baseball and Soccer can all be owned by 19 year olds (and have been)

Football players struggle to make it after their whole lives and 4 years of college at the top level of play.
