Only one on the board...

Perusing gay porn sites into the early morning hours. Projecting it on to others. Not creepy at all.

It's who you are Panther. You appear to be the only one here that doesn't know it already.

Do the guys who run Little League all do so on a volunteer basis? And if so, if JRW brings legal action, does LL then need pro Bono services or do they shut down all of LL due to Legal fees?

I know at a local level yes, I would imagine at the Corporate Head Quarters those are paid positions.

Many towns are not associated with LL International.

Too much bullshit and not enough actual baseball. No lead-offs, kids play an amount they set.

I explained this earlier, but the Majors division is really messed up. The lack of lead offs and short base paths/pitching rubber makes the game of poor quality for 12 year olds. The intermediate division is much more exciting and closer to real baseball. If you had all 5 foot tall, 80 pound 12 year olds, then Majors is fine. But on good teams, at least half the kids are 5'6" and taller, and kids like my son weigh 165 pounds and throw well into the 60's. As such, you cannot have those types of kids at 46 foot pitching distances and 60 foot base paths. Intermediate is 50/70.

The infield set-ups are akin to what the major leaguers do when they are trying to play in to prevent a runner on 3rd from getting home. Thus, the hits shoot past the infielders, which I noticed a lot during the LLWS.

Having seen both Majors and Intermediate level play, I can tell you LL has it all wrong. The head of LL was interviewed during the ESPN broadcasts on things like the short outfield fences, and he said they did not want to make any changes. He doesn't want to change the historical context of the game, but the problem is the kids are too big for such clown college set-ups.

Exactly. Way too many home runs. It is even worse in house because they mix 10 and 11 year olds with 12 year olds that already hit puberty. Two years ago, we had an 11 year get laced by a liner off the bat of a 12 year, and it left a mark of the laces from the ball on the kid's rib cage.

I have heard rumors that LL is trying to address the Majors division to separate kids better. Once boys hit 12, many of them are entering puberty and are much more advanced than 10 and 11 year olds.

LL needs to address the lack of kids playing in many inner city areas. This won't help any.

But full time travel ball is eventually going to kill in house leagues. Not enough skilled kids left to make it any fun.

This is getting beyond ridiculous . From Sneed.


The ring is the thing!

Sneed has learned Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to give a Little League championship ring to each member of the beleaguered Jackie Robinson West All Stars baseball team.

The mayor, who earlier this week appealed to the president of the Little League International to reverse his decision to strip the kids of their hard-earned championship title, plans to present the rings to the team at a ceremony at next month’s City Council hearing.

“Mayor Emanuel believes it is unfair for the organization to have punished the children who did nothing wrong,” said a mayoral source.

“These young men demonstrated tremendous character both on and off the field, and Chicago will honor them as the champions they are,” Emanuel said.

“​The memories they created will last a lifetime, and so will the championship rings they have earned.”

Shortly after Jackie Robinson West won the Little League World Series title last summer, Emanuel sought private donors to fund championship rings for the young men. The rings, which take months to manufacture, were already slated to arrive in Chicago in the coming weeks.

Each ring bears the player’s name, their jersey number and the number 42, in tribute to Jackie Robinson — league’s namesake.

Lester Lampert Jewelers was commissioned to produce the rings.

The Jackie Robinson West All Stars were the biggest story in the country last summer when their dominant play in the Little League World Series brought them the national title.

It all slipped away Wednesday when Little League International stripped the team of their championship after it came to light that the adults putting the team together had fudged the boundaries of Jackie Robinson West’s territory to include players from other leagues.

Emanuel said Wednesday he called Little League International President and CEO Stephen Keener to ask the championship be reinstated. The White House weighed in, saying the “dirty dealing” of the adults shouldn’t change the way we think of the kids.

Rev. Jesse Jackson and Fr. Michael Pfleger hosted a news conference with some JRW parents a few hours after the decision, saying the punishment was too harsh and had racial overtones. Jackson’s Rainbow Push Coalition will host a Jackie Robinson West Championship Reaffirmation Rally at 10 a.m. Saturday.
