Kid Danny

Danny Almonte was a star little league baseball player. He had a 78 mph fastball which from an MLB mound would of been a whopping 103 MPH pitch. Danny led his little league team all the way to Little League World Series in 2001 with throwing a no hitter in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals against State College, Pennsylvania. His actual age was questioned but his birth certificate had been lost when he moved to the United States. After the New York teams 3rd place finish the allegations came out that Danny was actually 14 and not 12. The teams titles were stripped and Dannys baseball career was forever tainted.
