AUBURN, CA—Local 36-year-old man Nate Ripley, who identifies as a six-year-old, “absolutely crushed” a game-winning homer at a local tee-ball game and won the championship for his team Monday evening, reports confirmed.
Ripley reportedly walked up to the plate in the bottom of the 6th, pointed his bat toward the left-field wall looming 130 feet in the distance, and let her rip, sending the ball rocketing over the fence and into a parking lot as the fans cheered and his coach yelled out, “Attaboy, Nate! Good job, bud!”
His team, the Lil’ Padres, attempted to hoist him up on their shoulders in celebration of their great victory over the favored Tiny Tigers, but were unable to pick up the large 230-pound man.
Ripley’s feat comes at the end of a momentous tee-ball season, in which the self-identified six-year-old absolutely shattered every record set prior to that point. With a 1.000 batting average, 52 home runs, and an incredible showing at first base, second base, shortstop, third base, and pitcher, the man is being called an inspiration to other six-year-olds everywhere.
“I’m just proud to be here with my team. It’s all for the love of the game,” an emotional Ripley told reporters while enjoying an orange slice and juice box after the championship. “I couldn’t have done it without my team.”
That is Al Frankin a couple of years after the other photo....
I hear ya re satire.
I actually read this and believe it. I think it’s symptomatic of the rot of our culture.
My suggestion is to post it social media to see if liberals defend this.
We’ve reached a culture beyond satire and that was my point.
I won’t post Satire again though as it is confusing. Thanks for your feedback.
Nothing wrong with satire. I posted the same article yesterday (with satire in the title) and some folks still thought it was true.
Articles like this help point out the absurdity of the left.
A boy just won a girls’ track meet a while back.
Can he steal a scholarship intended for females?

Above is a real story - sadly not satire.
Another ‘real story’ on the dude beating the girls in a track meet for state title:
A white girl actually won the race but has to live with 2nd place due to PC insanity.
Satire, yet it’s funny...
Bkmk
No one was trying to “get you.” It was in the title....SATIRE.
It wouldn’t take much to push this one over into “true story” territory.
Someone (or many!) out there is seriously thinking about it, I’ll bet!
Worth repeating!
