In a perfect world, we would all fulfill the dreams we had as kids.
Well, maybe not all of them — a world made of ice cream or the ability to shoot lasers out of our eyes might be detrimental to society. But as far as becoming the people we hoped we’d be when were were small, it might make for a much happier world. There’d be way less actuaries and accountants maybe, and probably an oversupply of firemen.
Of course, the baseball pipeline would be chock full. As it is, few people chase that dream past childhood, and fewer still get to achieve being a professional baseball player at all.
