Child told he's not allowed to pitch in youth league | Thread profile

stories like this crack me up. Parents just need to chill out and let their kids play ball. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,410162,00.html A Connecticut youth baseball team with a phenomenal 9-year-old pitcher has been disqualified because its team is too good. The team, Will Power Fitness, has an 8-0 record thanks in large part to pitcher Jericho Scott, the New Haven Register reports. His pitching is so fast and accurate, the Liga...

..wait a second (my mind just got fucking blown) how do you merge threads?

Because he's too good NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)—Nine-year-old Jericho Scott is a good baseball player— too good, it turns out. The right-hander has a fastball that tops out at about 40 mph. He throws so hard that the Youth Baseball League of New Haven told his coach that the boy could not pitch any more. When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said. Officials...

If I were that kid, I would get reinstated as a pitcher, and then I would plunk the kid of whoever made the decision that I couldn't pitch. I'd hit him as hard as I possible could.

I can't believe she's "discussing legal options." It's really the golden age to be a lawyer. EDIT- read it wrong.

this actually isn't unusual.... pudge rodriquez became a catcher because in his little leagues the coaches wouldn't let him pitch because he threw too hard.

I think this is more about blackballing him because he refused to join last years champion team, how sad..

They has to be more to the story Based on the fact that they mentioned it was a small league and had co-ed teams it seems that he is playing in the wrong league. He should be pitching on a team in a more competitive league not a recreational league. Oh and $50 sign-up fee? Sounds like a duffers league to me.

Just let him play first or second. Why's everybody so butt hurt on this. It's only a game.
