America - long live mediocrity!

Here's the rub:

Refusing to let a pitcher play in a little league game simply because he's better than everyone else is unfair to the kid. Some of us are more gifted than others at certain activities/skills/etc.

OTOH, if you have a kid who's been coached/trained/given special advantages through advannce training/etc that the other kids have not, then it becomes unfair to the other kids. It's like using a Div 1-AA athlete to play HS sports.
 
I don't know anyone who played baseball who didn't get unnerved by a big kid who could throw hard. The parents blaming the big kid should be ashamed of themselves.
 
In any given league (or pretty much any arena of life), there's always someone better. Maybe we should eliminate the top 10% so that the bottom 90% can feel better.
