When was the last time you heard of someone being too good at something that they were banned from it?  Well it happened in New Haven CT the other day.

Basically a 9 year old playing in New Haven Little League Baseball can throw up to 40 miles per hour.  I guess that is pretty fast for 9.  Even though my son is 7 and has hit off of the batting cages at 40 and 50mph.  Anyway, this boy has been striking everyone out with his heat.  He also has not hit any batter so his control is pretty good.  So what happens?  Well an opposing team forfiets the game and the league kicks him out.  Can you believe it?  Hey, Michael Jordan, your not allowed to drop 55 on the Knicks anymore so you can't play in the Garden.  Hey, Tom Brady, 50 touchdown passes is a little too much, can you scale it down.  Hey, Michael Phelps...go easy on those other countries...maybe you can share one of your 8 gold medals.

Get real!  What is this teaching our kids?  Failure is ok?  You play the game to win. PERIOD.  If you don't like losing, don't play or try harder.  This is the same mentality that parents have when their kids get a B from their teachers as opposed to the preconcived notion that little Johnny or Susie should of gotten an A.  So what do they do, they complain to the principal.  Puh-lease.  This is so absurd that it maks my blood boil when I am thinking about it.
