What are we comming to?

This is America.. Land where the corrupt roam free and the rich rule all.

that is seriously messed up, if you want the kid to pitch.. put him in a better league... ffs. the league hes in is casual... there not supposed to be able to throw 40mph fastballs. but i guess at the same time that its horridly cruel and unfair... what is wrong with the world today...

i could see why they would move him up a lvl because of his pitching, but then when he has to bat that would be a whole other ball game for the kid...batting against other pitchers 4-5 years older then him. sure the kid can pitch those fast balls, but can he hit them? is what would keep his parents from bumping him up i think.

It's just wrong ,though i'm sure it will all pan out for the kid as major league scouts will be keeping an eye on him. Can you say phenom?

This pretty much covers it.

Jericho's coach and parents say the boy is being unfairly targeted because he turned down an invitation to join the defending league champion, which is sponsored by an employer of one of the league's administrators.

This alone should send up countless red flags to anyone and everyone, including the parents of other teams. But, sadly, it's easier walk around as blind, mindless sheep than to do the right thing.

That league is full of lose.

IMO that kid should keep pitching and I hope he stikes out every person he faces.

Wow how many people can say they have ever been banned from a sport for being TOO good? I will always respect this kid for being just that good.
