I'm convinced we could destroy the LLWS team.
The next question -- which is greater; the ability gap between 12-year-olds and former high school players or the ability gap between former high school players and the Cubs?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think the next question is for those that played HS ball, were they any good? A few that said they had, also said they weren't anything special.

I don't think that matters. An average high school player is going to kick the shit out of the best 11-year-old. Typically, there's such a huge difference in strength and body size, that it just wouldn't be fair.
If any one of the high school players pitched and could throw off-speed stuff, the LL batters wouldn't have a prayer.

LLWS is mostly 12 and 13 year olds. Though I agree there is a definite difference. Though some of these kids are pretty big. Biggest kid is 6'2" 226.

6'2", 226? Holy hell.
Well...if they're all as big as the average full-grown adult, I might have to change my position.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
We'd still kick their asses because.....well because it would be us...and we're mean. Cigar would throw them some chin music and Jody would take out the snot nosed little bastard at 2nd base. They'd go home crying to their mommies.

There's a good chance that I'd hit on some of their moms as well. Psychological warfare.
