Jericho Scott is too fast

9-year old Jericho Scott is too fast for the Youth Baseball League of New Haven. The kid pitches at 40 mph, and at his last game, when he took the mound, the other team packed up and left, forfeiting the game, because he's too fast. So fast in fact, that the league has banned him from playing. Yup, you got it. He excels in pitching, so he's no longer allowed to play baseball. WTF?!?

Anyway, it doesn't matter. The kid is now famous. He's got his own Wikipedia entry.

    Here’s a link to a reporter that did his homework, and appears to get the story right. Long story short, Jerico is a #4 pitcher on a Pony League team and is also playing in this low-level league for some reason. And that’s where the trouble starts….

    Whatever happens ... they are all kids, and I hope these adults sort out THEIR problems.
    If left to their "natural" devices, kids just want to play sports. They don't need all this political / sponsor / teams forfeiting b.s.
    Whatever level Jericho wants to play at, and fits in, let him play.

Civil disobedience is called for

Image
In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
