Nine-year-old little leaguer Jericho Scott was told by the Youth Baseball League of New Haven that he was pretty good at pitching. Too good, in fact.
The kid's fastball tops out at 40 mph. You don't bench your secret weapon. So when his coach decided to put him on the hill anyway Saturday -- in front of protesting folks who wanted to see Jericho's stuff -- the other team packed up their gear and headed home like a bunch of sissies. Then, Jericho's mom flipped out.
"I feel sad," Jericho said. "I feel like it’s all my fault nobody could play."The league of eight teams has decided to disqualify little Jericho’s team and split the other children up among the other squads. They've also, in addition to being total assholes, offered to refund the $50 sign-up fee to unhappy parents.
The kid has never beaned anyone, but parents and league officials are concerned about the possibility... because they're sissies, just like their bratty kids, who suck at baseball.
If you think our pal Jericho is being unfairly targeted, contact the New Haven mayor's office and complain.

Forty years from now, after we've been invaded by the Belgians, Polish, Ethiopians, Polish (again), Costa Ricans and Columbians, we'll know it's because our political, business and military leadership was dominated by candy-asses too soft to face a 9-year-old pitcher.
