Big Little League Baseball
by Geyser

Josh Levin tells of the larger children plying in the Little League, have an unfair advantage over the smaller children. The larger child is 12 years old but could be 5' 9" to 6' and weigh anywhere from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs. The other 12 year olds can't compare to these giants at 5' 2" 120 lbs. Josh was close to blaming the bigger children for their size. Maybe it's time for the Little League to change, are there enough of the larger 12 year olds to form their own teams? The article said that only one of these giants were on a team. The same children all were Pitchers, all could throw at 78MPH and throw No-Hitters at will, Striking out 20 or more Batters. At the plate themselves, Hitting a towering Home Run is natural for them.

Is there an answer to this? It seems whatever is thought about, will hurt someone.
