At what age does something like this shift from acceptable to a bad idea? Is there a point at which it is acceptable to protect kids from peers who are better than they are? Before he got canned/let go, back when his show was listenable and not intolerably caricaturist/racist/political/just-plain-dumb, Mike North had a recurring segment, "The Pussification of America." Somewhere in Park Ridge, he's smiling.
And why am I not surprised this is happening in one of the "most educated" states in the Union? No way this happens in Texas.

In Texas, the kid would be encourage to throw bean balls, no?
What I find most upsetting about this is that I bet the parents of the other teams' players claimed that their children were "in danger" because they were sick of losing to this Jericho kid. They knew they had a loophole to keep him from dominating and beating their own children.
Little league parents are scary.
Yeah, apparently the game in which this kid's team chose to forfeit rather than forbid him from pitching was against the league president's son's team.
That just makes it worse - intolerable, even. I mean, back in the day, the league president should've rigged the draft or player ratings before it even got to this point. Amateurs.
