CHICAGO (AP) — Little League International has stripped Chicago's Jackie Robinson West of its national title after finding the team falsified its boundary map.

The league made the announcement Wednesday morning, saying the Chicago team violated regulations by placing players on the team who didn't qualify because they lived outside the team's boundaries. Little League International also suspended Jackie Robinson West manager Darold Butler from league activity.

Too bad for the kids. I know they all worked hard for the title.

I hate the idea of the kids paying for the dishonesty of “adults”.

Mooch looks like she’d rather be somewhere else.

That’s true. Who is that ringer in the back row with the long hair. He (sic) doesn’t look very happy.

(Not my fault Mooch looks the way she does)

She actually belongs somewhere else. Any suggestions?

That’s one crappy photo anyway.

Simply positioning the kids in the back where you could see their faces would at least make the photo look somewhat professional.

“Mooch looks like she’d rather be somewhere else.”

In the last few years, she seems to have that look on her face more and more.

I think it’s commonm knowledge that she hates the White House (except for the free all expense paid vacations part) and all the media attention.

But nonetheless, you’d think she could at least fake it for one picture with some Little Leaguers.

Why does Obama always look like he’s photoshopped into these pictures.

He certainly knows how to make sure his face gets in there, unlike the poor kid on the left.

What!!?? I can’t imagine something shady being done on Obozo’s home turf. As to Mooshel’s look, if you squint your eyes, she always seems to look like the East end of a West-bound horse.

“...unlike the poor kid on the left.”

At first I thought they were so good as to win the championship with only 8 players! Poor kid cropped out of the pic.

True, but a teachable moment...if you don’t follow the rules, you lose.

Chris Janes, vice president of the Evergreen Park Athletic Association on Chicago’s South Side, told Chicago’s ABC affiliate that his group was suspicious of the super-team, especially after JRW outscored it 43-2 in a little over four innings in a sectional playoff game.

..at least they didn't try to play a 15 yr old.

Little League Baseball is a great organization for all kids. ... Lots of fun memories for me.

Well, yes, obviously it’s racist to hold all people, without regard to skin color or historical oppression,
to the same set of rules as everyone else!
