Kid can't hit.

If you guys watch espn you may have seen this story.

I included a link to the story in text form.

apparently at a little league championship game in Utah, a team was up by one and the other teams power hitter was up, with one on third. The coach asked his pitcher to walk the other teams best hitter and he does. The hitter on deck strikes out and loses the game. The parent of the child who struck out is saying the opposing coach was intentionally picking on the weaker>hitter (a recovering cancer patient).

There is much to be said about this.
1. The cancer kids parents is teaching his children a bad lesson about being a sore loser.
2. Every parent on the winning team is very happy.
3. If the cancer kid could actually bat, and hit the ball, could actually have won the game for his team.
4. If the winning coach had tried to strike out the leagues best hitter, the parents of his player would have been upset if he did hit a home run.

The complaint is that the winning coach ruined the cancer kid's big day. I feel the kid needs to learn that you can not win them all, the strong survive, and if you want something you have to work for it. (ie. practice hitting)

I watched a news broadcast about this, the cancer kid and his father are both bigger nerds then Joel Schmiach. The footage of the game shows the kid striking out, the bat is way to big for him and his stance is terrible. The kids dad should be mad at the losing coach for not coaching the kid.

They interviewed the winning coach, he said "How am to know he had cancer?" "All I know is the one kid can really hit, and I know my parents wanted a win."

The winning coach seemed really nice and cool aboutthe whole thing. The caner kids father was a real dweeb, who probaly sucked at sports too.
