9-yr-old Throws 40 mph

In the news today is a 9-yr-old boy in New Haven, Connecticut who is so good that the league says he can't pitch in tha league anymore.  He throws 40 mph and hasn't hit anyone yet.  Apparently, he has good control too! 

This should not happen!  Everyone should be encouraged to always do their best and when their best exceeds expectations of others, they should be awarded, not penalized or made to feel like they shouldn't do THAT good. 

This incident reminds me of a book I read about lElgin, a 10-yr-old little leaguer, "The Youngest Hero" by Jerry Jenkins.  It was a very good book that I enjoyed a lot!
