This got ugly QUICK
Also, we have a 6'2, 250 pound pitcher who throws 75......
In other news, Oxford residents started paying off good little leaguers from around the country tonight.
He's not somebody that's 25 we're trying to pass off as 12 like Cuba does, are we?Quote:

I used to umpire Starkville youth leagues in college. I'm very glad I did t have to squat behind a 12 year old catcher trying to catch this guy. Hell, I did summer leagues for Starkville Academy too and they rarely had a catcher who was competent and capable at the high school level.
He has phenomenal control of his pitches for a pre junior high kid
That is because of dizzy dean and Dixie youth and more recently USSSA. Almost no little league organizations in Mississippi.Quote:

Is Dixie Youth not considered Little League? Just wondering, I played Dixie Youth 35 years ago, and just thought it was a "branch" of Little League.Quote:

Dixie Youth and Little League are 2 different organizations. We played DY in my town. World Series moved around to different towns every year. There was no getting to Williamsport
When will they play again, and will it be broadcast on TV? I would like t watch them if so.
Sunday 8:30 pm
