And a nine year old pitcher juridical Scott would no longer be allowed to pitch in the league because he throws the ball too fast. He was clocked at 47 miles per hour this morning on CBS TV. The coach refused to do shall put the -- on the -- puts their next game watch the other team lead the field and four for the game. Then the whole thing really began to one rubble. The nine year old boy's mother go to the verbal -- with league officials about there either not a lot of winners on the pitch because he throws too fast. The league's attorneys -- parents of the children played in the league fear for their safety because of the speed of young Jericho shopped pitches.

Works for a sponsor of one of the other teams in the league. And that team -- a -- go to play for them. But he didn't want to. So there could be more here than meets the whatever the out call there's no question that -- happened so often when it comes to youth sports leagues. The adults -- parents sponsors coaches or administrators. The ones who seem to get in the way of the kids who just wanna have flown. I don't sent those WB's exports."
