After a summer of cheering on Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West team as it advanced through the Little League national series, critics are now clamoring.
Earlier this month the team was stripped of its championship title.
Little League officials say the Chicago team broke the rules, by recruiting players outside its boundaries.
It’s a decision that Representative Monique Davis, a Chicago Democrat, says is unfair.
"Have all the other teams in the tournament also been investigated as thoroughly as Jackie Robinson West? Are they being held to the same standard as Jackie Robinson West? Why has no explanation or further information been given as to what new information has been discovered?"
Davis has filed a resolution urging the Little League to reinstate Jackie Robinson West as champs.
But the resolution is non-binding, and even if it passes the Illinois House, Little League officials are under no obligation to comply.
