What Do You Do If A Little Leaguer Is Too Good? Ban Him, Of Course.

Remember that school that banned kickball last year? Now we’ve got a Little League that won’t let a nine-year-old kid pitch because he’s too good. Is this really a problem, parents? Worst to worst, your kids will get to say they batted against a future major leaguer. And it’s not like the kid is pulling a Danny Almonte on us. (Remember him? The 14-year-old that pitched a perfect game pretending to be 12? This ESPN.com feature is a great follow-up.)

    Seriously, what is wrong with people? I cannot, for the life of me, understand this. We’re going to end up with a country full of kids who have no idea how to handle disappointment if we keep preventing them from experiencing it when they’re young, won’t we? Unless it’s too late and we’re already there? Goodness, I hope not.
