    This story is absolutely wild. Luckily baseball doesn’t exist, so this doesn’t really matter

    I love how the one Dominican Republic player had a full mustache and that somehow didn’t raise any alarm bells

    I asked my Filipino father in law about this, he said it's the biggest sports scandal the country ever had. Nobody brings it up and pretend like it never happened.

    The overage scandal is like the “I am twelve” scene but in real life

    All I can say is "I'm 12"

    I love how the word "racist" has lost all meaning today. Someone accuses you of wrongdoing, "racist."

    I played on a 14 and under travel team when I was 13. We were pretty good and I was one of the best hitters on the team. The 14 and under state championship tournament got canceled so we had to play in the 16 and under instead. We picked up a couple of older kids and now I was the youngest player on the team. We thought we were stacked. I only got one hit the entire tournament. We ended up getting 3rd place. Just one or two years makes a huge difference when you’re that young.

    I remember back in '92 watching this on ABC. My dad, who has passed away since then, loved baseball and we'd watch the Little League games together every year mainly because I was in organized baseball all the way through college. The only thing the 2 of us kept saying was...." There is NO WAY these kids are 12 !!!" I was in awe when the camera showed a close-up when they were at bat. A few of them looked like young men, because they were ! Oh well....RIP in peace Pop, you were right.

    One of our high school coaches was a victim along the way of this scandal. Because of the reputation that Philippine Little League Baseball got because of this, he was stripped of most of his coaching offers. Nobody would touch him. He would teach us for some cigarette money. Taught us batting, fielding, gave us drills, and even coached our pitchers. We were not really anything excellent as a team but he got us on the field and into the sport got some of us off trouble and off the streets. I think a couple of us went into varsity during college and most of us graduated college and still thinks that what we did on the field was some of the best times that we had as friends.

    I thinks its great that some of the Taiwan players in the 80s got to bring their wives and kids with them to watch them play

  • @lynskyrd

    If they went through all this trouble to cheat- WHY did they make it so obvious by winning by such large margins. 29-0 ? not allowing a hit in the WHOLE tournament ?

    When he showed the Dominican team at the beginning that was over age.. They literally had a dude with a beard longer than mine and I'm 30. Some of these teams really didn't even hide they had grown adults playing children.

    If the MLB was in charge of handling this scandal they’d charge the losing teams for not pitching better and revoking their little league memberships

    We saw this on the local news when I was, like, 8 years old.

    I'm mad at myself for not discovering this channel soon enough! I love learning about this kind of stuff, it's actually one of the reasons I got into Journalism and a focus on Sports Journalism and Photojournalism.

    I remember something like this happened to me when a team in my youth football league who usually went 2-14 went 14-0 before they got caught. Turned out they had two 17 year olds playing in a league for 13 year olds. They had an interesting QB and RB duo😂
