Just an FYI, a friend of mine lives in this kids' town, and this is NOT the only team he plays on. He plays on other, much more competitive teams! This weekend he's already pitching in THREE games. That can NOT be good for that kid's developing arm.

Here's an ESPN article with more details (and a bit of snark )

ESPN Page 2 - Kreidler: Let the kid play ... somewhere else.
