Kid pitcher, 9, called too good to take mound
There a weird sports story going around that you may have heard about.
A 9-year-old youth league pitcher in Connecticut is being told by league officials that they don't want him pitching in his 8- to 10-year-old coed league because he's too good. Actually, officials say Jericho Scott -- I like the name -- throws too fast for other kids in the developmental league and citing safety concerns, they would prefer he play some other position or pitch against older children. This is America so the boy's parents are talking to a lawyer.
Look, I have a better idea. The Orioles can send a car to New Haven and get him down to Camden Yards to fill that No. 4 spot in the rotation.

No, the Orioles would cause him to blow out his arm, just look at what they've done to about a dozen pitchers in the last decade.
