Judging by their overwhelming past success in the Chicago area, I'm led to believe that the team's president and other staff had recruited outside of their boundary areas for decades. The reason the other coach acted when they did was probably becuase it was common knowledge locally that they could really do nothing about until JRW became big enough for the Little League's Officials to take notice.

@Jo Piscine because your wholesome idea of how the little league works is not how it actually operates. Intent doesn’t result in the outcomes, and when you’re talking about the All-Stars those are the most talented kids out of that league who do not just play in rec leagues they play AAU and their parents spending thousands to set these kids up as if they will all be professional players. Its a dumb rule one because not all little leagues are ran at the same caliber , districts are and can be arbitrary and make not geographical sense, mix this with the parents and some children competitive spirit its not a “wholesome” sport you want to belive it is. That reality being that a bulk of these kids are crwating building blocks to play in college on scholarship or beyond. Teams that make the world series dont just do it as a “hobby”

Yea, I've coached soccer in both the us and the Netherlands. The parents always complained either about my voice (I can get pretty passionate, i love the game and push the players to do their best) or my substations (playing time for each kid). In both instances I dramatically improved results for both teams, as they had previously been led by parents of the kids. One of the teams had literally lost all 24 games the previous year. I tried explaining that its a sport and that each kid would have to earn their place in the team, I always stated this when I first joined the team and when the first game would come and through out the season. I explained my tactics and the rules around substitutions. I would say 100% of the kids would first be skeptical but after a couple of training sessions and games 80% of them would normally listen carefully as they saw the results in themselves and the team. There would always be 1-3 players that would not put in the work. By their own choice, and those were the parents that complained. Kids are young and parents are really attached to their kids (especially cause a lot of parents have less kids these days, therefore more time to observe and interfere with their kids development). But if you look at history, kids even 50 years ago had much more responsibility and expectations placed on them. I don't think treating kids like kids does them any good. I treat them like young adults who should learn and encourage them to make mistakes (ex. I'd rather have my striker shot 10 times and miss then wait for a "perfect" moment). My goal is to create an environment where they strive for success and have room to fail, and I always tell them "you can only fail if you don't learn". Parents have trouble with this, as they think their kid deserves more. Especially with this "equality" narrative in todays society where they think every kid deserves the same. But that isn't life and I will no matter what the parents say, cave into their ideas. Life is tuff and they need to learn that they need to put in work to get results and that even after all that work things don't go your way. I have been fired from one of my jobs for refusing to cave to a parents demands. I told them and will always tell them, that when I'm coach, its my rules and not theirs and that I would rather be fired then start shifting things for one child, simply because a parent is uncomfortable with the way I operate the team. Their response normally goes along the lines that they are there to "just have fun". I explain to them that trying is fun, effort is fun, winning is fun. Showing up is just the beginning. Let me tell you, a lot of the parents don't fundamentally understand kids, they are way to attached. I'm young and don't have kids, so i can't say i fully understand their perspective. But I did have a father and a mother who showed me reality, and would put me in situations that weren't always comfortable. Looking back I thank them for that. I would rather have the kids be proud of their work looking back and maybe hating me than being a "fun" coach. In my experience, fun coach's are fun in the moment, but the coach's that pushed me I respect, and I respect them till this day.

When I played Senior League, I witnessed parental interference in full force. Two boys who spent their summers with their father, who lived in our city, wanted to play ball and, as no one knew how well the boys played, no one wanted them, so they were placed on our team, which had finished last the previous two years. Well, they proved to be stud pitchers, and the team united behind them and started to win, win, win. This really riled up the coaches of the other teams, all fathers of players, so they eventually tried to ban them from playing because they were not residents. (This was in the 70s when divorced parents were not the norm). Somehow they dodged this bullet and they were allowed to pitch in the playoffs and we made our way to the championship game, but another protest was filed against our team during this time for a player "playing out of uniform." Seems one of our two star pitchers wore a different baseball cap than the teams and, unbelievably, this protest stood up and we forfeited that game, allowing that coach's team to play in the championship. It was disgusting and I refused to play organized baseball ever again.

If they had that would have been an execution shot of major league baseball. It would have truly have ceased to exist. You cant strip titles in pro sports and have the league survive. Think about it, it would have been a bit like how competitive cycling isn't really a thing since they disqualified their most popular rider ever in Lance Armstrong. People didn't actually care that Lance used drugs that helped him heal and produce red blood cells. Why? Because so did the guy who finished second, tenth and every other biker in the tour, if you wanted to find the guy who didnt take the drugs he was watching the race with us. Then one day the cycling rules crew came down from on high, disqualified those years races, but knew they couldnt declare the guy who finished second the winner because he was equally dirty! This killed their sport. Nobody cares who the winner of the Tour de France is anymore. The same would have happened to the MLB if they had stripped a title from a team for hitting a trash can to give a signal to their batters. You can say at least one good thing about what the Astros were doing, they were still at least trying to win. The only time you should have some achievement stripped from a player or team is when they when they try to fix the outcome of the game, because at the core of sports is the assertion that both teams are doing all they can to win, including cheating and creatively interpreting the rules. The Astros deserved to be punished. MLB can take draft picks, money, salary cap space, fire managers, all that shit, but the result of the world series stands, because it has to in order for professional baseball to survive.

I agree, I'm 60 now and I've Coached Little League since I was in my early 20's whenever we played a team that we knew from the 1st inning that it would be an easy blowout, i told the kids and coaches after about 10 or more run 1st inning, to let up on stealing and other things, we did not stop completely because every game is important, more so than a practice, so holding back everything would not be good in future games, we needed the practice, but you can slowdown and hold back to a point, after a 20-1 lead, the Coach could easily have attempted to do so. But also from over 35 years of Coaching and being in charge of Umpires and running local leagues and being involved with other districts, many Cheat in some form or another, not only Coaches, but district and State leaders of Little League, it's just like Politics. So most leagues if they can, someone will cheat, or bend or break rules to get better players and get rid of their bad ones. So I agree that Little League used the team to make money and get more publicity, and I think they knew from the beginning about the cheating that's why they kept saying case closed hoping the Coach that started it all would just go away. But I also agree with him, you get tired of the cheating, and it's possible yes he himself had cheated in the past to a smaller degree, but he just got out cheated that year and he had enough of it, LOL!. This Video correctly covers all the bases and even though they don't say so 100%, they this or that is possible, they don't realize it's probably near 100% right, everyone lied, cheated and took advantage.

One of my most vivid memories of little league baseball, now over 20 years ago, was standing next to the opposing team at the state tournament as we watched the parents of other players fight in the stand. None of the kids cared. I'm from further south of Chicago and played all black teams while we were all white. The only people who made that an issue were the parents. The kids from both teams literally stood next to each other talking and joking while grown men in the crowd hurled abuse at each other.

Having played in one of the tournaments in NY I can tell you that as we kept winning, the players on the opposing teams suddenly started looking older and bigger. LOTS of cheating goes on by ADULTS who want to win at any cost. They ruin the game for kids who just want to play because it's fun. We came to find out later that one of the teams we routed 13-2 was actually Babe Ruth League team of 15 year olds. We were 12 year olds. We got really disgusted with the system and we went to our coach to pull us out of the tournament because the adults surrounding it were AWFUL PEOPLE and since were inner city kids, the suburban kids and parents treated us horribly because we were winning so much and I guess one or two of us were too brash and flashy for them. BUT to pull the race card when you know you did something wrong is just as disgusting to me. It's a shame but cheating happens a LOT in Little League.

I know how this works. I was a coach in our local Little League. The boundary issue is in place for a reason. It prevents teams from drawing All Star players from outside their boundaries. That’s why it’s so difficult to field a team that can go deep into sectionals and nationals. This was pure fraud. The players knew. A player and parents who live outside the boundaries knew what was happening. None of these players or parents would have ever played with or against each other, except during non-little league travel fall/winter ball. This was in essence a dream team that pulled players from every corner of Chicago land, of which all but 5 players were from within the boundaries. The “adults” that defended this action also knew what was happening. Believe me, as a parent of a player, you know who all the studs are in your county when you are involved in off season travel ball.

There will always be a few people who never move on, that said, the reason most people haven't moved on is because the race card was played the entire time, and race is something people won't forget about so long as we keep thinking people are different. From the start, it was "all black team playing great baseball" which turned into publicity and then later, "we would be able to get away with cheating if other people weren't racist." Dangerous dialogue so until it's settled, the public will still care about the outcome because it's bigger than little league baseball

Listen, racism is very real. Just because you've never experienced it doesn't mean its not a possibility. The parents are suggesting its racially motivated because the guy who pushed for the investigation probably didn't care to investigate any other team. To me this seems like the byproduct of jealousy. You have a talented team that wins consistently and a losing team (coach) that can't accept that fact. What would inspire that man to investigate a little league team? Children! Jealousy. He looked for any possible infraction to get those boys in trouble and successfully stumbled across the distance of their homes being outside the little leagues boundaries. Sure, he might be correct but what inspired him to do ALL THAT? Racism......or jealousy. I've been on teams where we've defeated district rivals year after year and they accused us of cheating for no other reason than the fact that we dominated year after year.

I've always despised Little League, and this doesn't make me feel any better about it. Baseball in America has been ruined for decades, and the players no longer feel like someone to emulate. I think it really went downhill in the 70s, and has just sunk to new depths each year since. One thing people ignore about baseball, especially for children, is that it's a dangerous game. I have no idea how many kids have died from playing baseball, but it's more than a couple. Hell, when I was a kid, someone died from playing in a church softball game I was at, and those balls are far safer to be hit with. I don't think children should be playing baseball...let them play something safer until they're at least in high school.

No wonder a team packed with ringers from all over the region beat teams made up of local kids in the same neighborhoods. The politicians involved are the worst offenders in this scandal IMO.

I coached H.S. Baseball for 20yrs, including a stretch in L.L. When my Nephew was playing, my brother asked me to help the team. eventually the playoffs came around... we were last a last place team 8th seed. Of course we had to face the #1... as it happens with L.L. the Umpires are teenagers and they didn't show up. the meeting at home plate I was stunned.... One coach said "I can't ump...." I thought he had bad vision or back issues "why" "no way I can be biased".... "are you kidding" "their 10yr old's." I said I would do it, "Because I could be unbiased".. stick around till the end To the infamous games: The game was close, tied 2-2 bottom of the 4th (played 5 innings plus extra in the playoffs). My team was out thinking them and had kept striking out their best hitters. We had walked one of their best players and a coaches kid... wild pitch blocked by our catcher, still moved the runner to second. Eventually it came down to a bad throw from the cutoff... An ill advised throw to home, got past the catcher, I guess their runner purposely ran into the catcher. Our side crowd went wild... I didn't see this because runner had scored and I turned my attention to the field...where there the play was still live. The only thing that gave me the impression it was intentional... I heard one of their coaches say "shut up" when I looked he was nose through the fence glaring at what I later learned was his ex-wife. then realized it was their kid who was involved at the plate...next batter had a simple hit to right and they took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the 5th for the win... Midweek my brother called me; "you won't believe it" . The word was out, that team in there second game nearly had to forfeit and was eventually disqualified...cheating yes and the ex-wife/ mom made her son tell the league his coach (Dad) told them to interfere with the other teams.. all good - BUT, What sent them down were the illegal bats... The teenage umpire in the second round game, found the illegal bat after a hit, the batter tossed the bat up the first base line. Their first base coach forgot to pickup the bat right away...so the umpire picked it up...he was a H.S. catcher... and noticed the barrel didn't feel right for the age group...funny as it sounds...This kid had his own umpire gear, In his backpack he had L.L. rule book and not just a taper measure but a tailors tape just for something like this. The first base coach (an adult) and their head coach tried to take the bat....I guess the umpire told them "Sir's, if you try and take this bat from me Ill forfeit this game". In the crowd was the league rules official and heard bats clanking and saw their bench coach trying to tuck bats into their catcher equip. bag... By L.L. rules at that time. illegal bats: Batter was out and ejected...the head coach was ejected and all bats had to be inspected. At that game all but one of their batts were impounded by the league. The league actually went through photos from the season and found the team was using these illegal bats all season.. plus they found the bats details by the logo were purposely removed Note: this team was stacked...talk about cheating... 12 players on the team. they only drafted 6. These other six players parents were told to waited until after the draft, call the league and tell them their kids wanted to play baseball and heard there was a team that needed players. The league banned the coaches who start their own travel team and were eventually suspended for cheating... by the travel league

For anyone interested in the outcome, apparently it got settled in what seems to be late April of 2021 in favour of Jackie Robinson and the coaches. Little League settled with them and dropped their own lawsuit against the coaches though I cannot find for how much or any details on the settlement. They did not get their title back though.

Obama was a mulatto, drug user,(by his own admission), half Muslim, and married to a disgruntled black activist who detested America. I was amazed that a muslim could get elected to any prominent political post after 911. Unbelievable!

My son's football team played a wonderful team like this. It was for seven and eight year olds but their team loaded up with kids as old as thirteen. Their thirteen year old broke our quarterback's arm and it created such a stink that they were investigated. They eventually forfeited all of their games and were barred, but the kid's arm was still broken.

This happened when I was in little league like 15 years ago in our league. One of the towns farmed from like 7 or 8 smaller towns that didn’t haven enough talent to enter themselves. I remember we played them and it was rough lol

I only wonder why every team wasn't investigated.

I've been part of teams that have disbanded and lost achievements due to coach and parents cheating. When you put the kids on the team in a position to lose their title by cheating, you don't get to complain that taking away from the kids is unfair. Because you're cheating helped them win that title and put them in the position to have it taken away. It sucks for the kids on the team but what's not fair is all the other teams that played by the rules and were beat by a team that didn't.

Why question the whistle blowers credibility before or after they had already been proven to have ineligible players? He made an accusation that was proven with evidence he had nothing to do with. That is some really petty stuff and playing the race card after all of it is just flat out disgusting. The adults cheated and ruined it for everyone. Meanwhile the players are the only ones showing any maturity.

Little league and all the coaches know this is going on and it probably still is. In a way, they encouraged it, when Jackie Robinson shows up with an all-black team and pushed for a re-mapping of where they can pull players from-Common sense says do due diligence on all those kids or change the map. But neither happened, I take it that this is one of those things little league looks the other way on and everyone knew it. But the team won and now haters who actually do the same thing call foul play? Nonsense! In fact, @ 14:15 one of the Jackie Robinson parents claimed the whistleblower's team tried to illegally recruit their child. I bet of Little league had the guts to look into all their teams that year then the whole season would have to be scrapped. This is not about the cheating but who got scapegoated.

I thought Gary, Indiana in 1971 was the first all black LLWS team to reach the championship. They had Legendary Lloyd McClendon, who hit a home run every time he wasn't intentionally walked.

Back in my day playing towards the LLWS, coaches would just sneak a 6'4", full mustached, wife and kids in the car, 225lb, 18yr old monster, to pitch 85mph bombs at us as 12yr olds from 45 feet away... black and white photo copies of birth certificates were barely legible anyways as proof.
