This is such a sad story. For one the kids who lost to this team who got railroaded. Second for the players on this team who ended up having their championship stripped and all wins vacated because the adults decided to cheat.

For me the adults associated with this scandal should be banned from every being associated with any position associated with any youth sport. There should be a blacklist available to any program that wants to hire a coach that shows the history of such actions.

Sad really. In today's society, you would think people would realize that if you cheat, you will get caught. Poor kids just wanna play ball, parents were irresponsible and greedy, ruined everything.

They cheated even way back when I played little league, and that was in the late 50's. Mostly having players over the age limit, i.e. limit 10 to 12 yrs old, one team I recall had 2 kids that were 14, and 15, and much larger than most of us, and had more experience. And yes, they got caught too.

There was actually a Law and Order episode centering around cheating in amateur baseball by bringing in a guy who was too old where threatened exposure led to murder, which led to the L&O; guys.

But then again, what the hell do I know?
