National organization rules the Grosse Pointe Woods-Shores Little League must re-assign players to teams in its premier, competitive division. An informational meeting has been called for Thursday night.
With opening day less than three weeks away, the Grosse Pointe Woods-Shores Little League has had to shake up its teams. The Little League’s national organization ruled that the Woods-Shores did not use an equitable system to select players for the teams in the major league—the premier, competitive division for children ages 9-12—according to an email from Nina Johnson, the Central Region Director of Little League Baseball and Softball. “My office had received some correspondence that had indicated that Grosse Pointe Wood Shores LL may have used a player selection system that was not in accordance with one of the approved methods,” Johnson wrote in an email to Patch. “Upon contacting the league president, it was confirmed that the league …
