The team from Chitown had a good run this year.
sounds about right this was in 2001 espn and ABC helped elevate the world series to high levels the LLWS itself had been going on in williamsport since 1947.
I think this is pretty common in the tourney I played in the sectionals and regionals versus kids that did not look 11-12 .
I concur at 14 you are also playing baseball with high school level kids so it is impossible to mix up a 14 year old player in the "junior league" ranks for a 12 year old little leaguer even if that 14 year old is small he will still be more technical and possibly stronger than 12 year olds.
Coach 1: Hey who the fuck is that guy??
This is correct. @ 12 I was still a soft couch potato. By 14 I was 150 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal, almost able to do the splits in all 3 directions and able to kick holes in the sky.
As a parent, it makes me feel proud if I test my kid in a hypothetical scenario and I purposely give them bad advice to test him, and my oldest boy(11) always does/says the right thing, and makes me feel good. My youngest however, he'd try to get away with shit. I can't think of any specific examples but it has happened to where my oldest boy reiterated to me what was right and deep down I knew he was. Moral of this post-Kids can have a conscious to do what is right, even if their own parent tells them differently.
