Spirit of Baseball
Take a look at this Video Clip and you, too, will be inspired by the story of a young baseball player with one leg who demonstrates the "character, courage and loyalty" mantra that we as a league promote and we all, as coaches, parents, umpires and players, should strive for.
This second clip shows the story of softball teammates who carried an opponent around the bases after she hit her first career home run then tore her ACL going around first base. See this clip for the full report.

Little League Bat Announcement
March 19, 2009 --
It has been brought to the attention of Little League officials that there are a few bats for sale in stores or that may have already been purchased that carry the Little League approval, but do not have the required bat performance standard markings. The Little League Rulebook states that beginning January 1, 2009, all non-wood bats used for play in Little League Baseball (majors and below) shall be printed with a bat performance factor (BPF) of 1.15 or less. While the bats we have identified pass the BPF standard and other standards of proportion and measurement, they do not have the proper label. These bats are in the marketplace for a variety of circumstances. After review by Little League officials, it has been determined that these bats may remain in the marketplace and shall be allowed for play during the 2009 season only, with the understanding that these bats shall not be allowed for play after December 31, 2009, even though some improperly labeled bats may still remain in the marketplace, or retained by leagues and players after the 2010 deadline. Also, check the model you are purchasing. If these bats, like the Vanquish, are replaced with corrected labeling, and have the BPF 1.15 label, they will be allowed after 2009.
Specifically, the bats in question are as follow:
Adidas Vanquish Blue design (There is a newer model of this bat, also named the Vanquish and it has copper and black markings. It contains the proper labeling and therefore is not subject to the one-year rule).
DeMarini Black Coyote
Rogue
Distance
Rumble
Tengu
Easton LZ-810
Louisville Slugger YB31
