Sheesh! Let the kid pitch!
(I played baseball for 14 years and coached for 14 years.)
What next? An 8th grad football team wont be allowed to compete in their league because two of the kids run the 100 in 10.3, A basketball team is kicked out because a kid hits 85% of his free throws....damn
I know what you mean. Shouldn’t we be encouraging excellence in all things?
I played basketball, baseball and football for school teams all the way up through high school and I probably got 3 or 4 trophies (letters, yes)my entire sporting career.
My kids come back from tennis and soccer with trophies for finishing fourth. The world has changed.
