College Baseball, Venture Capital, and the Long Maybe

My son is a college baseball player. One of the singular aspects of having kids is that they open your eyes to facets of humanity that you might not have seen otherwise. I was not a college athlete (and knew little of even baseball until he got the bug at age seven), so I have learned much along the way. You — perhaps like me several years ago — may have an idea of how college athletics proceeds: that a kid plays well in high school; that it informs the schools to which they apply; that they have some conversations with coaches when considering where to matriculate; that they go to a school; that they play for four years.
