PITTSBURGH - A T-ball coach allegedly paid one of his players $25 to hurt an 8-year-old mentally disabled teammate so he wouldn’t have to put the boy in the game, police said Friday.

Mark R. Downs Jr., 27, of Dunbar, is accused of offering one of his players the money to hit the boy in the head with a baseball, police said. Witnesses told police Downs didn’t want the boy to play in the game because of his disability.

Police said the boy was hit in the head and in the groin with a baseball just before a game, and didn’t play, police said.

It's one of those loser parent/coaches who has to live out their failed attempts at competetive sports vicariously through 8 year olds playing t-ball...

pathetic.

Pretty sickening really. And yeah, the name thing stood out for me too, heh.

At the very least he should be banned from coaching period, not just next year.

edit: My gut says tie him up and let the kid throw baseballs at him. But that'll just teach the kid to be violent too. :icon8:

we could do it. before throwing, we could partially embed razor blades into them and spray lemon juice on him when we run out.

tie him up to a tree naked in a mosquito/blackfly infested forest.

lol, this guy sounds like some movie cliche: the over-competitive little league coach who gets his jollies from bawling out 8 year olds. what a cock

I hate parents who are so awfully serious about how their kids do in sports. I remember when i played soccer there was this guy in my team and his dad was shouting and insulting him while he was playing, every weekend. Alright he was shit, but jesus.
