... excellence must be punished.
Baseball brouhaha goes into extra innings.
"The fighting started this week when Coach Wilfred Vidro refused a directive by league officials to replace 9-year-old pitcher Jericho Scott, whose pitching they say is so hard, fast and accurate that it might frighten or discourage other players."

I actually ran into this growing up. I had a method of raising yearling beef cattle that resulted in a calf twice the size and mass of the others. After the other children started bawling, I was disqualified at the county fair from showing my freaks of nature. That part was unrewarding, considering all the work I put into it. The positive side was that it was lucrative enough to put me through two years at the university.
