Little League Elbow
Little League Elbow (Elbow, Little League; Medial Apophysitis; Overuse Elbow Injury Related to Throwing) by Laurie LaRusso, MS, ELS En Español (Spanish Version) Definition Little League elbow is pain in the elbow joint due to repetitive throwing. This injury occurs in young baseball pitchers before puberty. The Elbow Joint © 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. Causes During this injury, the ligament attached to the inner side of the elbow begins to pull one of the growth plates away from the rest of the bone. Because the bones are still growing, the growth plates are weak and susceptible to injury. Certain types of throwing may lead to this condition, such as: Throwing too hard and too often Increasing the number of pitches per week too quickly Throwing too many curves or sliders at a young age Changing to a league where the pitcher's mound is farther away from home plate or the mound is elevated Risk Factors These factors increase your chance of developing Little League elbow. Tell your doctor if you or your child have any of these risk factors: Age: 10-15 years old Sex: male (more boys than girls are baseball pitchers) Page 1 of 3 Copyright © 2011 EBSCO Publishing. All rights reserved. Baseball pitching, especially throwing curve balls or sliders Symptoms Symptoms include: Pain around the bony knob on the inner side of the elbow Swelling (possibly) Pain when throwing overhand Pain with gripping or carrying heavy objects (sometimes) Diagnosis The doctor will ask about: Symptoms How the injury occurred When the pain began Any prior elbow injuries The doctor will also: Examine the elbow for signs of ligament or bone damage Find the source of the pain If needed, have an x-ray or an MRI done to look for damage to the bone Treatment Treatment and recovery depend on the severity of the injury. -
FAIRPORT LITTLE LEAGUE Little League Baseball Was Founded In
FAIRPORT LITTLE LEAGUE Little League baseball was founded in 1939 by Carl Stotz in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and has been a part of the Perinton and Fairport scene since 1951. In 1950, the Fairport Rotary Club asked several of its members to investigate the possibility of bringing Little League to the community. (East Rochester already had four teams.) It was hoped that teams could be organized to play a short season in the spring and summer of 1950. Sponsors pledged $200 each to supply uniforms and equipment, and a local builder offered to level an area in Potter Park for a diamond. However, residents of Potter Place were not happy with the prospect of screaming children and heavy traffic three to four nights each week and complained to the Village Board. The Board ruled that village property could not be used by any outside organization and since Little League was headquartered in Pennsylvania, they could not use Potter Park. Little League was on hold, but not for long. The next year, 1951, four organizations, Lions, Masons, Rotary, and the Fairport Fire Department formulated plans for bringing baseball to Perinton and Fairport youngsters. The executive committee included Tod Malcolm, Napoleon Mancuso, Gene Malcolm, and Hugh Stevely. The fields would be located in the then unused Fairport Park (today’s Perinton Park). Frank Wood, a local contractor, volunteered to bulldoze the area, and volunteers from the sponsoring organization completed the preparation. That year, Little League began its first season in Fairport/Perinton with four teams and 48 players. The games were popular and had many fans, among them a young man who was, because of crippling rheumatoid arthritis, unable to play. -
The Rules of Scoring
THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08). -

Pro-Tip Series
Pro-Tip Series Versatile Vinyl Ester By Bob Cottrell, CPIM Ben Zobrist recently signed a $56 million contract with the Chicago Cubs. Why did they pay him such a huge amount of money? It wasn’t because he hit for the highest average or had the most home runs. It was because of his versatility – of the nine baseball positions, he has played five and is a “switch hitter”. He has been called a “super utility player”. Versatility is valued in sports, as it should be in business. Arjay’s 7121 Vinyl Ester Bonding Compound, like Ben Zobrist, has proven to be an extremely versatile product in our customers’ arsenal. It is used for the expected critical bonding applications such as: • Stringers to Hull (shown) • Liner to Hull • Deck to Hull When the above applications utilize a standard medium weight bonding compound, 7121 offers much higher tensile strength, tensile elongation and better lap shear. While customers appreciate the improved quality of their boats associated with the intended applications, we are impressed with the unintended applications which they have found to utilize the superior physical properties of 7121: Mold Repair Mold flanges take a beating during the pulling process. A misdirected putty knife can take a chunk out of the flange – laminate as well as tooling gel coat. Customers have found that filling the depressions with 7121 provides a durable, tough repair that lasts. Radius Compound Some customers building vinyl ester parts are using 7121 as a radius compound. They like the fact that it is vinyl ester based, and more compatible with their laminating resin. -

Jackie Robinson West
Sunday Morning Baseball Preacher Inspiration of Jackie Robinson West “Lean forward, catch the heat, make the throw, complete the play.” Rev. Dr. Walter Arthur McCray The preacher on early Sunday Morning finds himself wishfully looking for a flight from Chicago to Williamsport, PA. I need to arrive in time for history, and for memories. The Little League World Series Championship game starts at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Jackie Robinson West, the Chi-town, hometown baseball boys, will play North Korea for it all. “If I could somehow find a way to the make it to the game . Driving would take too long, and most of flights are one or two stops. Just not enough lead time.” Wishful thinking. Inspirational thinking. Hallelujah thinking! Most folks across the nation or world really don’t know the inspirational impact of the Jackie Robinson West team’s rise to overnight stardom. The team has done a great service for Chicago, for their little league region, for their community, for their people, for their nation, and for themselves. The Chicago White Sox haven’t done it for a while. And the Chicago Cubs . well that’s another story. Miracles do happen . maybe in my lifetime. Yet, JRW has done the possible, and even the miraculous. They are winning it all. These talented, courageous, and “Bring it on!” baseball champs have already won. Their winning has done it for me and my inspiration, and for my dad who went home to baseball heaven back in the early ‘80s. My Mississippi sharecropper dad from Bolton, and from the delta in the south to Chicago, would have stuck out his strong chest with a grinning pride at the success of Chicago’s Southsiders. -

Pony League Vs. Little League If Your Child Has Never Played on a Pony
Pony League vs. Little League If your child has never played on a Pony League or on any Baseball League you may be wondering what we are all about? The primary features that distinguish Pony baseball from Little League baseball are those of a two year age bracket system and scaled diamonds. Additionally, Pony teaches lead offs and base stealing starting at age 9 (Mustang Division), or earlier while pitchers learn pick off moves and holding runners on base to counter the potential steal. In organizations such as Little League player age can differ by as much as 3 years within a division. As a result, the younger players, because of their lack of maturity, ability and size, find it hard to communicate with the older players. They often find themselves spending a disproportionate amount of time on the bench and may feel disconnected from their team. With players of only two ages involved, as is the case with Pony baseball, it is far easier to permit every player to play more positions since the difference in skills within the age groups is not that great. In addition, Pony baseball scales the size of the diamonds to match the physical capabilities of the players within each division. The base and pitching dimensions for Pony baseball are: - 50 ft bases for Shetland 5 & 6 year olds - 50 ft bases and 38 ft pitching for Pinto 7 & 8 year olds - 60 ft bases and 44 ft pitching for Mustang 9 & 10 year olds - 70 ft bases and 48 ft pitching for Bronco 11 & 12 year olds - 80 ft bases and 54 ft pitching for Pony 13 & 14 year olds These base dimensions are the result of extensive experimentation to determine the size on which players of each age group can properly play the game of baseball.
