i was reading this earlier.

i keptthinking back to when i played pee wee football and they made all the fat kids play a level up with the older kids because they weighed too much.

i don't know that it would work in baseball, but move the kid up a level if they are so upset. don't ban him from playing and using his natural talent. encourage that and give him the chance to get better.

I agree on this. But sometimes somebody dominates a sport... its called natural ability... let the kid play!

They did that when I was a kid too!  I played with the 12 year olds when I was 10 and so did a buddy of mine.  When my friend was 12, he threw 70mph!!!  There were acctually scouts watching our little league team play because he was so good. He hit 27 homeruns our last year.  As a 12 year old he was 5'7 150lbs.  He peaked early, and never grew anymore = end of MLB dreams.   

We were two games away from making it to the LL world series.   :'(

+1  They moved kids up grades in school if they were too smart.  My nephews were moved up in snowmobile racing last year because they were beating all their peers.  LOL..they beat the older kids too!   [laugh]

Yes, natural ability.  Some kids have it and some don't!

I am glad the other team walked off.  It shows a message to that kid that not everyone thinks he is so great.  I hope he learned his lesson.  Maybe from now on he'll start walking kids if the score gets too high that way they can tie and everyone wins!!!!  Hooray!!!!  Then everyone can have a trophy.

... I'm totally cool with my friends saying "You remember when William bit it?!  That was awesome!  How do you explode in a fireball while being crushed under a waterfall?!  I don't think I'll beat that..."
