Danny Almonte's Age Flap

The lead sports story in Time Magazine was called "Bronx Bummer." It was about Little League pitcher Danny Almonte, who pitched the first perfect game since 1957 in the Little League World Series, being exposed as 14 years old. Almonte had risen to cult status due to a dominating performance that was aided by the fact that he was two years older than his teammates and the competition. It left many questioning the ethics and parenting in youth sports, and the naivety of the rest of us.
