MLW Schultz Field HR Race

One of the most fun leagues to watch out there is a small group of kids in Michigan that play in a league known as MLW - Schultz Field. They've been playing since 2009 and the long balls are starting to add up. They've got two kids that close to hitting 50 home runs a piece. No league is complete without a little competition in the home run department.

Don't Call It A Comeback...

You'd better be ready to see the youngest league in the country return this summer. MLW - Schultz Field is anxiously awaiting for the weather to improve so they can get the 2011 season started. I know what you're thinking. "Dude, these kids are like 8 years old...and they only have 2 teams." Yeah, you're right -- but what's your point? They are all related in some way, siblings and cousins, which is kind of eh... But they play really well. They actually have a strike-zone. I know, I know...it's a playskool drawing board or something but at least it's something (most leagues that start out don't even have a zone). These kids aren't even tall enough to ride roller coasters yet so they can't use regulation sized zones. I'm giving them points for trying. They wanted to expand to 4 teams this year but it's not looking like that's going to happen. Despite all of the aforementioned information about them they're still incredible. They make some great plays (watch their Top 10 Plays Video if you don't believe me) and at that age they should be good. You witness the zenith of childhood hand-eye coordination when you watch their videos. Say what you want about these kids but I think they'll only get better in time. Who knows what they'll be doing when their voices start cracking? Hopefully expanding.
