Ayn Rand is rolling in her grave right now.

League officials say Jericho's mother became irate, threatening them and vowing to get the league shut down.

``I have never seen behavior of a parent like the behavior Jericho's mother exhibited Wednesday night,'' Noble said.

That's okay, we've never seen behavior of a league like this either. Sickening. :nonono:

When I was playing baseball little league, there was a guy that could throw the ball freakin fast too. The thing was, he had no control, and his coach knew it, so anytime he was a little fatigued and control was off, the coach took the kid out. When you play a sport, you can get hurt (I've dislocated a couple fingers sliding to the base, etc). If you think you can't (parents in that new Haven league), then you need to put your pansy ass kids in ballet. This is ridiculous and I hope that kid gets to play baseball after this story (I saw this on ESPN, too).

When I was playing at the YMCA for baseball, when I was in the 5th grade I think, it was a dude who played shortstop and he was tall and they assumed he was too old for the league. I hate that.
