| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00  | is anybody else watching this? this team from the bronx has the most amazing pitcher i have ever seen. danny almonte, the kid pitches 80mph fastball, with breaking balls over 60, for a 13 year old. its equivalent to a 110mph fastball from 60 feet, he pitches so fast that the catchers hand is sore from having to catch his pitches. has anyone else been watching. its on espn2 rite now  Webmaster of the Undergound Unofficial I Hate adolescentmasturbator Message Board | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | That kid was amazing. The only two balls put into play were 6th inning bunts, both were outs. Kid pitched a perfect game with 16 strikeouts.... unbelievable.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | i cant believe those pussies bunted in the 6th inning, if this were the major leagues, they would have been hit on the next pitch. tom candiotti was really pissed off when the kid bunted with 1 out and nobody on, that was just fucking terrible of them to try and do but watching this kid pitch is incredible. and since in little league the new week starts on sunday, he can pitch again on tuesday night Webmaster of the Undergound Unofficial I Hate adolescentmasturbator Message Board | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I guarantee if that kid got a plane ticket to fly to Los Angeles tonight and pitch for the Dodgers. He would probably pitch 8 innings of shutout ball with maybe 2 hits. And also, if that kid is 12 or 13, then Im 40.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | that kid has some amazing stuff. Ya might wanna check his age, but he would strike out a varsity high school team with that stuff. I was pissed when the other team was bunting, i know they want to win, but they were already down 5-0, and those bunts were nothing special anyway. Still, an unbelievable performance. | ||||

This must be culture shock to Smalltown America with the cockfights in the parking lot and the burrito stand that popped up outside the entrance;) The kid does have big league stuff acording to Stottlemeyer in the Daily News. He did look pretty indominable today.

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 01 | I don't know if anybody cares anymore, but the Rolando Paulino All-Stars have advanced to the U.S. championship game at the Little League World Series behind a one-hitter by Mr. Perfect himself, 16-year-old Danny Almonte, who allowed nothing after a first inning single. The game was not without lack of controversy when 15-year-old Reynaldo Guava failed to touch second base on his trip to third, yet was not called out by an unattentive umpire. He later scored the only run of the 1-0 game. The U.S. Final is this Saturday at 4:30.  Self-Proclaimed Emperors of all Broadcasting. That old gag!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | simple reason,, the number 2 pitcher is a straight fastball pitcher, and against a power hitting team like Florida, he wanted a curveball pitcher. so thats the reason im glad that japan won, that was pretty funny with the baseball gods thing Webmaster of the Undergound Unofficial I Hate adolescentmasturbator Message Board | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | i hope he really is 12, some of these coaches are real dicks ::cough::statenislandcoaches::cough:: SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) -- Little League is investigating pitcher Danny Almonte after being shown a document that indicated the ace from the Bronx might be older than allowed. The Rolando Paulino Little League insists Almonte is 12 years old, born April 7, 1989, in Moca, Dominican Republic. But Little League World Series officials were shown an affidavit Monday by a Sports Illustrated writer that indicated a Danny Almonte was born April 7, 1987, in the town, said league spokesman Lance Van Auken. Documents previously submitted to Little League by the Rolando Paulino team to prove Almonte's eligibility showed him being born to the same parents in the same town, but in 1989. Van Auken said Little League also was faxed another document Monday afternoon that was similar to the one obtained by Sports Illustrated but showing Almonte being born in 1989. Little League rules prohibit any player born before Aug. 1, 1988, from competing this year. "If this is the same Danny Almonte who played for Rolando Paulino Little League, then we have been deceived, and a fraud has been perpetrated on Little League and the millions of youngsters for whom Little League is so important," said Little League Inc. President Stephen Keener. In a statement released Monday, Little League officials said they contacted the Rolando Paulino league in the Bronx, N.Y., which insisted all of its players were eligible and promised to provide further documentation. Rick McCabe, a Sports Illustrated spokesman, said the magazine was "working on a Little League story" but would not comment further until the story was ready for publication. An official with the Rolando Paulino league questioned the new document. "Rolando, before he lets the kids into the league, he gets the original birth certificate and a passport, because he doesn't want these kinds of problems. This is a surprise to us," said Joann Dalmau, a spokeswoman for the Rolando Paulino team. "What more can we provide, if we have provided an original birth certificate and a passport? Anything else is irrelevant. I don't know what document they have, but they're wrong," she said. If Almonte was found to be ineligible, the Bronx team could be forced to forfeit its last win, the consolation game against Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Little League could even revoke the Rolando Paulino league's charter. But Van Auken said that given the documents in Little League's possession, no immediate action would be taken. "We have in our possession now the same type of documentation that it appears Sports Illustrated has," Van Auken said. "The document we have says 1989, the document they have says 1987, so as far as we're concerned, the team is still the third-place team in the World Series." But he added that the investigation was continuing and Little League officials might have to travel to the Dominican Republic. The team is scheduled to honored with a parade in the Bronx on Wednesday. Almonte was the most dominating pitcher at the World Series this year, throwing a perfect game in the opener against Apopka, Fla. Almonte struck out the first 15 Apopka batters in the first perfect game in 44 years at the tournament. Almonte followed that with a one-hit shutout in the U.S. semifinals against Oceanside (Calif.) American, a team that came in averaging .333 with five batters at .500 or better. He finished the tournament with 46 strikeouts, giving up only three hits in three starts. A run scored in last inning of his final game was the only run scored on Almonte all summer. "Anyone who could do to our team, to the Florida team, to the California team what he did -- I wanted to believe in my heart that he was 12 because I was witnessing greatness on the level of a Michael Jordan or a Tiger Woods," said Tom Heart, whose State College, Pa., team was beaten by the Bronx in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship with Almonte pitching a no-hitter. "In my heart, I felt I was witnessing something illegal, and he robbed my kids of their dream." Behind Almonte's pitching and a solid defense, the Bronx team went 4-1 at the World Series and finished third. The team's only loss was a rematch against Apopka in which Almonte couldn't pitch because of a rule that prohibits pitchers from starting consecutive games. Almonte became a sensation after throwing 16 strikeouts in the Mid-Altantic Regional championship against State College. His perfect game only added to his reputation, and major leaguers Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. both contacted Almonte to wish him luck. But rumors about Almonte's age plagued the team throughout the tournament, and Little League coaches in Staten Island, N.Y., and Pequannock, N.J., said they had hired private investigators to find proof that Bronx players were ineligible, but to no avail. "He certainly plays like he's older than his years, but I would reserve comment until there's proof," Hart said. "If it's a bogus document, then somebody needs held accountable for that they're doing to this kid and this team. If it's true, my feelings would be anger and frustration." Glen Mills, president of Oceanside American Little League, said there was no bitterness among his players. "If this is true, Little League has to been lied to. But remember, it's not the kid's fault. He has the talent, but it was exploited by adults, and that's a shame," Mills said. "My heart really goes out to Danny Almonte. That kid has so much pressure that none of us know. We can't even conceive what pressure that kid has on him." Little League officials said throughout that the Bronx team was the most scrutinized team in the country and that they had seen documents proving the players' ages and residency met Little League requirements. "Because of rumors reported to us, we did additional due diligence and were shown U.S. and Dominican records confirming the ages of the players on the Rolando Paulino team," Keener said.
