Staten Island Reprimanded After a Player’s Obscenity


By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 22, 2006
Staten Island Manager Nick Doscher and one of his players were reprimanded by Little League World Series organizers yesterday after an incident Sunday during the team’s 1-0 loss to Lemont, Ill., in which the player yelled an obscenity and Doscher appeared to respond by striking him.

Staten Island, trailing by a run, had just turned a double play in the top of the sixth when the unidentified player swore as the players huddled in the dugout before the team’s final turn at bat. The obscenity was clearly heard on ESPN’s prime-time broadcast of the game, just before the network cut to commercial. It appeared that Doscher then struck the player with an open hand.

Neither Doscher nor the player was immediately available for comment. ESPN said it had decided to use a five-second delay for remaining Little League broadcasts.

Not sure how many World Series winners there are in the State, but the teams I have watched would compete well in Pennsylvania I believe. The NW Rankins, Northport AL, Tallahasee Fl, etc. , etc. are pretty tough in al areas of the game. All those good teams have one thing in common, two or more DOMINANT pitchers.
