The sad truth is Lary Baras legacy is that he feft Israeli service providers with $400,000 worth of unpaid debts. It is also unfortunate that unless excessive money is thrown away by someone there is no model for success for baseball here. Soccer survives not because of fan support but because of Mifal Hapais and local city councils. We can dream but professional baseball is not going to happen on a financial successful level here. The best approach is for communities to provide funding for more kids baseball and from there develop more teen leagues and adult leaques. After that it may be more realistic.
