Umpire at Little League World Series Should be Ashamed of This Horrible Called Third Strike
The Little League World Series is off and running in Williamsport, Pa., which means it’s almost the end of summer fun for all of us.
It also means some kids are going to make memories that will last forever on some of the sweetest fields a young kid could dream of playing on.
With the good, however, comes some bad as each year it seems like the umpires working these games have no idea what a strike zone should look like.
Cuba learned that lesson early in its loss to Japan on Wednesday when one of its players was struck out looking on a pitch that was a mile outside of the zone.
