My son plays in a baseball association, and last night, he was playing 2nd base, and the runner basically karate-kicked him in the biceps with metal cleats. My son had to go to the ER and get 8 stitches. The head coach for our team wasn't there, but the head assistant coach is requesting disiplinary action be made against the other player, who was ejected and automaticly suspended for one game. He is asking me what sort of action to request from league, but what sort of action would be appropriate? The player has been involved in many near-ejection situations before, 1 in the 1st inning, and i dont know if i should ask for disbarrment, a season suspension, or just in the next game we play against them, because the rest of the team was anxious for the player to come up to bat again so they could hit him but I don't want anything to get out of hand here... The umpires agreed in their report that it was definately intentional and malicious... suggestions?
Btw, they're 14 years old.

It's not under little league rules, it used to be, but it's a separate organization now. Besides, Little League only extends to age 12.

If this is an ongoing pattern, suspend him for the season. WTF, the rest of the team should show this douchebag a lesson.

Metal cleats? They are not allowed under little league rules. The umpire should have checked all players foot wear for illegal metal cleats before the game. The league may have been negligent in allowing them to play.
The player should also be kicked out for life in my opinion. You should also contact the local police and file assault charges against the other player. He went beyond the scope of the game.

Well if the kid has a history of almost being ejected i think its time for him to be suspended long term. From what you just said it seems like he is trying to injure players and him not playing would make the game safer for everyone.

End the little ****'s season. He's clearly a jerk and at the age of 14, a person should and probably does know that kicking somebody with cleats is bad.

Disbarrment is appropreate. He should not practice law any more in your State.
