    Which Franchise Rules Your City?

    Unfortunately, we have the AHL penguins in my area so they rule my town. I play hockey with Tux their mascot and love to take out my hatred of the little Pens on him. He was doing a kids B-day party at the same bowling rink as a party my son was at and I was jokingly harassing him and got...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Here is some more info from articles around the web.... "For other kids it’s a scary thing." That’s parent Nana Velez. She and other parents complained that the ace pitcher frightened kids and left them feeling discouraged. League officials agreed. They decided that Jericho should play a...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Nobody interviewed the others involved or if they did they didn't add it to the story. I don't believe the parents because when asked about the whole thing they left important key elements out. Then the crazy mom calls the police because a team forfeits a game? Then she wants to sue the league...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    He started in the other league mid-season after being only an average player in the league he belongs. Leagues have standard for players, he was too advanced for the lower league. The problem is the coach and his parents would rather see him dominate the lower league then get better in the...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    How so? Everyone's argument was that the kid shouldn't have to move up. When in fact he moved down so that he could dominate. Others said let him stay with his friends he shouldn't be forced to play with kids he doesn't know. Well, the less advanced team is the one he is new to. The...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    I wouldn't go that far. It is funny that you kept saying to stick to the facts, then when I bring more facts that don't support your view, you give up. You also seem like the type of person who would never admit your wrong. The kid play in a higher league. He wasn't dominating in that...

    It's funny that there isn't any comments after the other side of the story comes out.

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Let's keep this simple, for two reasons: (1) It's inherently a simple story and (2) they've got lawyers running around New Haven, Conn., filing lawsuits about kids' sports, which can't be good news for us if we dive into the deep end too quickly. So cut it to the bare essentials and solve it...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Just because it is an opinion piece doesn't mean that every thing in it is an opinion. It means that he is giving his opinion about something. He is giving his opinion about the fact that the kid was asked not to pitch. He also was giving an opinion about the fact that he also played in a...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    No, because they didn't interview him or they didn't add his comments to the interview. Like I said it makes for a good story if you only interview one side. Also, I am just sticking to what is in the article you should also. You can't comment on something that isn't part of the article you...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    In an opinion piece for ESPN, Mark Kreidler reported the LJB position that Scott's parents were asked to move him permanently to the older league but declined. Kreidler also asserted that Scott played for a more advanced area league where he was the number 4 pitcher and that his parents were...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    According to another story from the Daily News he just turned 10 during the season I don't, I was speculating. You have not been sticking to what is in the news article. ie.... when in fact the article says..."Jericho's coach and parents say the boy is being unfairly targeted because he...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Not when it is a league that is teaching kids to play. It isn't meant to be a competitive league it is a learning league. You know what I say to the kid and his parents about getting banned from pitching .......Tough. He doesn't have to sacrifice his position he just has to play his position...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    That is because he is "too good" for the team he is on. He pitched 5 straight no-hitters. That is no fun for either team to play. It is supposed to be a developmental league not a play date. Does he? He will still be 10. Do you know that for sure? Just because his crazy mom said so doesn't...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Problem is you may coach high school and traveling teams but you don't coach a team like this. Like I said I help coach a team like this and kids like this ruin the game for the other kids. Five no-hitters in a row!! put the kid in another position or forfiet the game. Either way he will be...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    The kid was asked to play another position after he pitched five no hitters. Not after he turn down the offer to be on another team. He played a a game at second then the next game he went to pitch again and the other team refused to play if he pitched. "They won't let me pitch," Jericho, who...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Just to let you know I wasn't suggesting that kids should be benched because of ability. I don't think that kids in this type of league should be be discouraged at all. I don't understand what this league is? If it is a learning league there shouldn't be playoffs they shouldn't even keep score...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    What happens if the other kids can't play at the level of an individual player? If it is an everyone plays team, why not let that player play another position. Maybe he is a great pitcher but doesn't have enough concentration to play outfield. Why not play him at first base or short stop? let...

    Poor little babies ban a kid from pitching because he is too good!

    Let me ask this. At what point do you think a kid who is not able to compete with other kids in a sport should be benched? If a kid isn't good enough to play a position such as pitcher do you still let them pitch even if every pitch is a ball? How is that fun for the batters? Now if every one...

    Born in Brantford, Ontario, Wayne Gretzky lived perhaps the most famous childhood of any athlete. When he was six years old, his father, Walter, built a rink in the family's backyard, and it was there that Wayne skated for hours on end, every day, practising his skating, shooting and...
