Politically Correct Baseball

[imagine2frolic]

Kids need to learn how to lose as well how to win. I am grateful I grew up when I did. Rode my bike all over town. Was home when it started to get dark. If you fell down, you just got up. In the 50's I was considered husky. Hell now I would be skinny....WHINERS!

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.

i remember some chebby whiners from the 60's that couldnt win a nascar race.
so nascar banned the 427 wedge and the 426 hemi. i stopped watching\supporting nascar then. F' them.

I read a couple of articles before I started this thread, and they all said the 9 year old's fastball is 40 MPH. I never saw anything about 90 MPH.

If a 9 year old was pitching a 90 MPH fastball from the 46 foot little league distance from the mound to home plate, even a major league player could not hit his pitch. And he would already be under contract to some major league team!
