Little League

[Kopfjäger]

A 9 yr. old Pitcher was told he could no longer play because he was too good. (40mph fastball) The other Parents didn't want there little boys getting struck out all the time.    His Coach started him in a game the other day anyway. So....wait...listen to this. The other Team walked off the field refusing to play.

welcome to the world of FAIR.

I've been watching it crumble for years.

the thing thats sucks in this....


if a kid can pitch well.... other kids get better as they adjust to what they are given. it's how things work. for parents and a coaches to take the kids off the field in protest, it sends a horrible message.

were the olympics not just on?

was there a group of parents out there pissed that Phelps kicked ass?

[TiNi]

wow... amazing..

that kid will be a major league player someday, then those parents will wish they had done different...
wouldn't he up the level a bit and make everyone else better players too?

what kind of nonsense is that?
if my kid isn't the star, he's not playing at all?

those same f'n parents would be suing the league if it was thier lil kid who was banned for being good.

once again,
things are made too easy for the kids...
it's not a good lesson on how life works

Exactly what I was thinking!!

OR..

the opposing team does this..they have their pitcher hit the star pitcher in the arm and break it!!   Problem solved!



Just kidding but that is pretty much what happened when I was in Pony League.  I was the pitcher and their star pitcher was up to bat when I accidently hit him in the arm.  He came back to pitch for another 2 innings but was then taken out.    I found out a few years later (from a kid who was on their team) that I broke the kid's arm.    



Anyway, the other team, their parents and coaches should be ashamed of themselves for sending this message!!

I believe I may have heard, that some of the Mommies were afraid there little darlings might get hurt, if they were to be hit by a pitch.

Unfortunately, accidents do happen.  My case in point!    That's what helmets are for!  Take the kids to the batting cages for crist sake.  Help them improve their skills!!    

I'm sure that there were kids who pitched as fast as this kid..if not faster..when we played in little league but not everyone had a radar gun at their disposal to clock it!!  

[Grampa]

who did? 

opps (deity of your choice)
