wow... lame...
... the kid should be allowed to play and should be allowed to own every kid in that league if he's that good...
... if he can move to another division - so be it... but for that coach to walk-off when he showed up to pitch... whatta pussy and how... weak. That coach should have had a set of balls and let the kid play and told his team to ignore the stupidity behind being 'too good' and try and have some fun.
Ridiculous.

This is the world of "participation" awards and not keeping score. Boy are these little fuckers going to be in trouble when they're big enough to actually get knocked down.

All of the batters in Little League strike out all of the time anyway. And 40mph? That's it? They're making kids softer and softer these days.

Too. To good is not a verb. Unless it means sex.

I read that too and it pissed me off so bad! So when someone is really good an talented you take him out because you don't want to loose. How unfair is that? And can you imagine how that little guy is feeling?
Wining bitches that's what they are!! Let him play!

It's really sad that the parents can't just work with their own kids to make them better ballplayers, but instead shun the better ballplayer and tell them to be on the same low playing field as their own kids. That's the fucking problem with America today. Instead of praising this kid and using that to inspire our children to be better, try harder and work harder, they want to keep their kids lower on the totem pole and be mediocre players.
This will translate directly to their lives outside of baseball too. Shame on those parents. Hurray for this kid.

I used to play baseball with a kid like that. He threw so hard that either the catchers on his team or our team couldn't catch the ball. Ha. I think the kid was on roids, he never grew taller than 5'3" haha
40mph? thats slow The kid i was talking about threw in the 80's mph range.

Yea, they should just bump him up a division. My friend and I growing up weren't allowed to play in any of the baseball/ basketball/ soccer divisions in our age groups because at those ages you're either learning, or not very good. While we had older brothers and had been exposed/played these games constantly, well before we were of age to participate in a team setting.
Sounds cool, but basically in retrospect ... the kids in your grades think you're too good for them, and the kids who you play with are angry because someone 2/3 grades lower than them are starting, heh.
Good times?
Yes. As it only made us continually better at a continued accelerated pace.
- I know you love baseball but for some reason I can't picture you as a baseball player, hahaJaline
- I had a similar experience, but not brothers, cousins. Too bad Sharon is such a small town, made things a bit harder.ismith
- Well to my credit, I stopped playing when I got moved to Pony early and the kids were whizzing the ball.flavorful

George, Steven. Look guys I'm sorry but you just can't make this Indiana Jones movie. It's not my decision, but the exec's think it's just too good. They'd prefer to give more of these shitty movies a chance to shine.

Kid should be moved up, better chances, and better competition for him. I can see why he wants to play in the league, with his friends and all.
On the same hand, a young kid like that should also slow down. This isn't the only story of an amazing young pitcher; there are tons of kids like this. Some don't even make it out of high school because they eventually blow their arm out.

I know having allergies is life and death sometimes, but it does remind me of that argument about whether the kid with the allergy should change / be more careful, or if the rest of the classmates should change their habits instead.

I don't like is = It's not fair.
We try to teach kids this is not true, and most of the time shit isn't 'fair' or 'not fair', you just don't like it.
Then parents and fucking 'coaches' - people who wander about wearing sporty jackets into their 50s and 60s come along and play piss-contests like this between themselves and we wonder why industries are going abroad to find people who can work ?
