Maybe some of you guys don't realize how competitive that league is. My 11 yr old brother plays in the same level of Roger's kids. They've played against each other several times. These kids are THE best players in the area and the emphasis IS winning. My brother's team just got back from FLA where they played the USSSA Nationals. There's more competition there than in the majors sometimes.
People get thrown out of little league games all the time. Parents get into the game and let tempers flare. The competition and excitment build up tension especially in close games. It just so happens a big name was involved this time. Does it make him an asshole? Certainly not. I guarentee you he wasn't the only person yelling at a bad call that game.
It's part of the sport, the kids are going to see and learn that reguardless if it's Joe Schmoo or Roger Clemons. Give the guy a break.
