and went to the grammar school next to JR Park (Mt. Vernon stand up!), I can see why they did it, besides wanting to win obviously. Is there really that much interest among african American boys in little league baseball? I definitely can't think of any interest among the boys in my grammar school. At that time, they were in gangs by the age of 12. Hasn't changed much either. At any rate, it's unfortunate something they worked so hard for was taken away. And the kids are being harassed which is really sad.
