Specs, do you have a valid birth certificate?

i'm gonna guess you are gonna say yes.

ok, you decided to join a league that i also happen to manage. It is none of my business whether or not you are really 12, 13, 21, 24, wateva.

One day, you pitch and i notice you are dominating the opposition. I say, cant be possible. He does look too old. I bet this kid isnt really 13 years old.

I investigate.

Now answer this, did I know you had a valid birth certificate? No.

So please rephrase your comment. You said, danny almonte had an invalid birth certificate and was therefore investigated. Ummmm, please reread what you just said. How am I gonna investigate an invalid birth certificate. If its invalid then i wouldnt have to investigate, its already proof. the proper comment should have been, Danny Almonte was investigated and it was discovered that he had an invalid birth certificate.

So once again, i ask...why not investigate the MA or Kentucky kid and see if they have invalid birth certificates.

no one has given me a good answer yet. every answer i've received is exactly what the media and Little League told us. Obviously, I wouldnt raise this issue if I found the information given by the media and Little League valid.

as for what this is really about. I could care less who booed and who didnt. There was no need for booing. I dont care if the kid showboated or did not. The kid running the bases was 13 years old! How dare you boo a 13 year old. ITS THE FREAKIN LLWS! for crying out loud!

SHAME ON ANYONE WHO HATED THE HARLEM TEAM B/C THEY SHOWBOATED. you may have not liked it, but hate is a strong word and hoping they lose is disgraceful. these are little kids playing a game they love. dont boo them, dont hope they lose. this isnt MLB!

It hurts me dearly that the Harlem team was hated on for doing absolutely nothing. Why b/c they beat your beloved little white boy teams? Did mommy and daddy hate that Latin kid that hit the game winning homerun b/c he did it againt your precious little white boy?

please!

grow up. I know for a fact that when this Harlem team went to the tournament the first thing people thought was "thugs". SHAME ON YOU!

The Little League World Series is a perfect example of what is wrong with this world. They say racism is not around anymore. That it doesnt exist. You gotta be kidding yourself!

The responses i've received so far prove that people still ignore the main issue. They only look at the skin color and geographical region.

FACE IT. the kids were from Harlem and people thought they had to have cheated to make it this far!

I'm disgusted!
