What a bunch of douchebags http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/rick_reilly/08/07/reilly0814/index.html -- This actually happened. Your job is to decide whether it should have. In a nine- and 10-year-old PONY league championship game in Bountiful, Utah, the Yankees lead the Red Sox by one run. The Sox are up in the bottom of the last inning, two outs, a runner on third. At the plate is the Sox' best hitter, a kid named Jordan. On deck is the Sox' worst hitter, a kid named Romney. He's a scrawny cancer survivor who has to take human growth hormone and has a shunt in his brain. So, you're the coach: Do you intentionally walk the star hitter so you can face the kid who can barely swing? Wait! Before you answer.... This is a league where everybody gets to bat, there's a four-runs-per-inning max, and no stealing until the ball crosses the plate. On the other hand, the stands are packed and it is the title game. So ... do you pitch to the star or do you lay it all on the kid who's been through hell already? Yanks coach Bob Farley decided to walk the star. -- -- I want to punch this coach. It's LITTLE LEAGUE STAY OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME Telling your pitcher "no, don't pitch to the slugger, pitch to the cancer survivor" just tells him (remember, he's 10!!!) "You're not good enough, so pick on your weaker peers!!!" OF course, this is coming from the kid that was ALWAYS PITCHED TO (and still pitched to.... XXXDDDDD) I hate it when they IBB the guy before me. XXXDDDD -- --
