Baseball Team’s Pitcher, 9, Ousted for Being Too Good
25th August 2008
Read it.
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 Juvenil De Baseball De New Haven asked the team’s coach, Wilfred Vidro, to replace him so he wouldn’t frighten other players.
This is how sad modern America has become.
“The spirit of the league was community, family, well-being, nurturing,” Peter Noble, the league’s attorney, told the Register. “It’s an extended family and it’s been disrupted.”
Sounds as if they ought to cut to the chase and just sit around singing Kumbaya. It would certainly save on equipment.
