Either they are sitting at home playing video games, or they are getting special private instruction for $150 dollars an hour.
With that said, I'd love to buy this guy a win sometime.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The thing of it is, Wells was born in 1982. They had video games when he was growing up--he obviously preferred being outside throwing a ball.

I was born a year after Wells was. Yes, it was the first big in home video gaming generation, but it's nowhere near what it's like today. I spent a lot of hours playing video games as a kid, but I still rode around the neighborhood on my bike with friends, playing street hockey, baseball, football, soccer. Climbing trees, collecting reptiles and amphibians. Maybe I'm out of touch, but I don't think the kids these days do stuff like that.
