Ages/Runts... Who put this team together?
The reason some of the kids may seem like runts is because there is a big age difference between some of the players. Between Kelly and Lupus there is an 8 year difference. this is really obvious when they are playing other teams. I have never seen such a spread of ages on a team usually they are a couple (2-3) year difference, if that.. but this team the ages are all over the place. I'm not an expert on 1970's Little league teams but it seems a bit off to me. evidently they did it for aesthetics. I just don't see why they couldn't find kids actually in the same age groups, it's not like they needed good acting.
