So today my wife and family went to Jackson to support the Manchester Little League playing in their final games before possibly going to the LL World Series.  I had to leave after game one but my wife stayed for game 2 and man I should have too!!  So the Hawks (manchester) have been doing really well and beat New York today early.  In game two apparently (as accounted by my wife) there were 3 or 4 REALLY REALLY REALLY bad obviously BAD calls.  The ump made some horrible calls... Supposedly this caused Manchester to lose the game barely.  (in the game against New York there were like 9 umps on the field it was WAY to many!)  Well this ump i guess cost them the game and the coach WENT OFF!!! supposedly swinging at the ump getting kickd off the field.  Upon going to the dugout the coach grabbed a bat and went after the ump... INSANITY!!!! I can't wait to hear this one in the papers.  Its a shame because that league is a great league and the kids are very talented... THey shouldnt have to see the coaches act like that but still I can understand the fury of losing a game due to terrible calls!  Were any of you there?!

Thats what happens when you live through your children.  Life aint fair, sometimes you are on the short end of the stick.  Way to teach your kids how NOT to deal with it. 

Can somebody help me with something?

 

Was there some sort of tragedy with the Toms River little league team or some sort of plane crash resulting in the deaths of any little league team members about 10 years ago?

 

I remember discussing this with somebody several years ago but I forget the details. I have enough of the details wrong that I can't find info with a search engine.

they won the world series... btu i dont think there was a plane crash....

I remember the world series. Not sure where the rest came from. I just remember the context of that was part of the story, perhaps it was another sport, or just a school trip or something.

I can confirm there was no such tragedy involving the TR little league team that won the LL WS.  I was in all of their grade when they won it.  They were like royalty all throughout middle/high school lol.  At least 1 of them play in the MLB now.  

JESUS has it been THAT long since they won that they are old enough to be in the MLB..... christ..

Lol they are all in their late 20's. Todd Frasier plays for the Reds and is 27 I believe.
