Do you think it is unfair to tell a kid he is TOO good at something? email this discussion to a friend?

I am reading this article about a little 9 year old boy that is not allowed to play in the baseball league because he is too good to play. I read that he can pitch a 40mph fast ball.
The big wigs of the league is trying to even disband the kid's team or offer money back it the other kids on the team if they don't want to pla anymore. This is a very sad case because I feel that it is unfair to tell anyone that they are too good for anthing, especially when they are such a young age.

Here is the link for the article:

That is really sad, and it is unfair, however it sounds like the other kids think it's not fair to play with him. It might be that disappointing on kid is better than disappointing the rest of the kids. Just the lesser of 2 evils.

Children should be encouraged in every aspect of their lives, just think, that young boy could be become the greatest baseball player the world has ever seen in years to come and its ridiculous to say he's 'too good'. They could be missing out an a fantastic athlete that would be an assesst to your country. Quite shameful when you think about it

I think that the coaches are the ones encouraging the kids not to play with this boy. I think I would challange the other players to get better and NOT to give up.

What I want to know is who the hell is in the league? They are complaining about a 40 MPH fastball? Ummmm... Not quite sure when that was considered fast, since it is less than half the speed of an MLB fastball, and around half the speed of a decent high school pitchers fastball. I mean come on, first of all, why kick out a 9 year old for being good at pitching, and also why the heck are people scared of a 40 MPH baseball? What morons. I hope that the other people who tried to get the team disbanded and the kid pulled out are forever branded as wusses by everyone they know that knows this story. What fools.

Well, I never knew what the average of a fastball for young kids. Maybe it is too fast for the age group that he is pitching in, so I don't know why they couldn't move him up in the league then?!
I feel so bad for this kid.
