August 23, 200521 yr The kids making up the Saudi Arabian team seem very....not Arabian. Is the team made up of service member's kids stationed over there?

August 23, 200521 yr Yea they all speak perfect english and seem like they are from here, very wierd.
August 23, 200521 yr Author And that 1st baseman reminds me of Ryan Howard for some reason(that is by far one of the tallest 12 year olds I've ever seen). Bet he can knock the ball a mile, espicially off of little league pitching. Anyway, Tony Gwynn just said that these kids are all US citizens and a few of them were born in Saudi Arabia, so the children of US service members stationed there theory is what I bet it is....I just had my doubts that baseaball is big in the middle east, more of a soccer oriented area of the world.
August 23, 200521 yr 6'5" and 12 years old? What are they feeding him? I wonder if someone has handed him a basketball yet.

August 23, 200521 yr The team is all-American in nationality. Because the kids live in Saudi Arabia and played in their league they're eligible to play for that country. Its similar to when Danny Almonte played for New York even though he's from the Dominican Republic and had only just moved there prior to the little league season. Well except that I think all of these kids are league age 12. That firstbaseman is a monster.
August 23, 200521 yr wow did anyone see the play that kid just made..........pitcher catches ball hit back to him behind his back.......

He was grinnin ear to ear too, and he had the right, heck of a catch.
August 23, 200521 yr Author All those kids' parents work for Armaco (an oil company). 912510[/snapback] Ok thanks for the info, that really has been bugging me all day.
