lest we forget, it was about a year ago when a family decided to sue an aluminum bat manufacturer, the store, the team, and Little League for their child getting beamed in the chest.

Thank goodness for the fear of litigiousness.

I feel sorry for the kid, but I honestly don't think I want my 9 yr old kid on the receiving end of wild pitch. 90 MPH in the cage is not something to be taken lightly, even as a grown adult.

If he doesn't loose it, this publicity will get him places. There are enough fanatics to not let this talent slide. It wouldn't surprise me if some Minor League will probably pick him up just for PR ticket sales. What a marketing deal this could be.
