 LIars are liars and cheeters are cheeters.  If you are not careful these kids will grow up to be just like our President

#8: ctw4jrw - JRW = U.S. CHAMPS 

 I was a Little League coach, High School Varsity Coach, Traveling coach (2 World Series), American Legion coach. I was also on the Board of our local Little League. My experience in Little League was that the rules were very strict. Our little town had to have 2 sanction leagues. We could not pool to have one AllStar team. I've wondered for years about a lot of these teams that resemble traveling teams. You can't tell me this is an isolated case. When I left traveling baseball many teams had $20000-$30,000 budgets. Heavy recruiters. I funded my team myself and never charged a player to play. Also Little League players could not play on a travel team until after their season was over. One year I could not even take 10 year olds after their season was over and play tournaments because the 11-12 year old All Stars were still playing. 10 year olds were not even eligable for all stars. I think the Little League is trying to save face by sweeping this under the rug. I say if they cheated and broke rules they should have the title taken away. If they don't at least investigate then other teams should just go and play unsanctioned baseball and not support Little League. After all why have rules if your not going to enforce them.

It is not a race thing....who brought up race??  Sun-times newspaper column writer Mary Mitchell??  Just play by the rules.....  Hard to feel good about this when everyone has to play by the strict rules of the Little league organiztion....   Sorry but rules are rules!!!!      Even if you own property or give a relative's address...  YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE BOUNDRY!!!...and most DON'T

Back in 2007 our Lansing Little league District team lost to JRW in the sectional championship...It was learned at the state level that JRW was using ineligible players...  THEY MUST PLAY BY THE RULES!!! 

#29: Skip - Rules are Rules 

 thanks for the aupport.  Lets hope LLI does the right thing.  The 2015 season is.coming.soon.  i am hoping to start the season knowing that we are all playing on a level playing field. Right now, its obviius that we are not. 

#28: Coach - Re: JRW = U.S. CHAMPS 

 thanks for the support.  Whats most important to me is that LLI.  Completes a thorough and unbiased investigation, acknowledges the wrong doing, and takes steps to.ensure this does not happen again.  This game is for kids and should be decided by kids within the rules.

Being a youth coach for many many years, it erks me that this would happen, when it comes to this age or any age up to college,it is supposed to be about teaching the youths and making them better ,,,,,Not about getting the best players in your area,district,etc.. it is not about winning at this age and level..yes it is fun to win and helps with the moral and confidence,but it is about teaching them about the sport and about lifes ups and downs.. shame shame shame .. I heard about this shortly after the little league world series and was shocked.. Now it shouldnt be blamed on these kids and they will be the ones punished because they will have this over them for many many years..But the people ,Coaches,admins,and all adults involved in this need to be banned for life from youth sports period...

 Careful there are people out here who know where the jrw secrets from day one are . And if it comes out it will not be a nice thing.

#11: ctw4jrw - TIMING IS EVERYTHING... 

 Wrong again , Officials from Littlle League Baseball Inc. are flying into Chicago on January 12 for a meeting with District for Leagues. Over not by a longshot.

This is far from over . Little League Baseball Inc. officials are flying into Chicago on January 12th for a meeting with District 4 Leagues . They would not be doing this if there was not something done wrong.

#12: - Chris Janes is a LOSER 

 Since when does trying to hold people accountable for their actions make someone a loser?  A loser is someone who doesn't believe in virtues such as truth and fair play.

Your league should hire an attorney!

If true, this is dirty from beginning to end !  A bad DA! No surprise there! 

#37: -  Those poor little boys- they just did what they were supposed to do and now they might be remembered for something other than a great accomplishment! This is worse than the Danny Amonte scandal-much, much worse!

#34: - Re: JRW = U.S. CHAMPS 

 JRW has been a very tight knit group for a very long time with very little change in their leadership positions. This is probabyl why more on thjs topic has not.come out in the past. I agree with you...its jhst a matter of time

#40: - Re: Re: JRW Boundary  

 we have considered it...but we are not for proffit org with a zero base budget.  Hoping LLI sees this through.  we would prefer to invest our resources back in to the kids who participate in our league

Thanks for the support!

#36: - Meeting 

 i was not aware of that.  Was this info posted some where?  I would like to know more.

Thanks for posting, appreciate the support

#35: - Re: TIMING IS EVERYTHING... 

 Uh oh!

#24: Chris Janes - Re: Re: Re: Here Here  

 dude, why do you care so much!?!?!

#48: - Re: Re: Re: Re: Here Here  

 its some thing that is important to me. All four of my boys have or are still playing little league baseball.  Its been a great experience for them.  Allowing teams to break rules inthjs mankr does damage to Little League as a whole.  I dont want to see Little League not be around for kids in the future.

#1: -  

 Why isn't this getting more traction across the country? We having a JRW-gate?

If this gets covered up, we'll go Babe Ruth
