Many across the sports world — including one Yankees star — have now sounded off about the drama around New Jersey Little Leaguer Marco Rocco.
Many across the sports world — including one Yankees star — have now sounded off about the drama surrounding New Jersey Little Leaguer Marco Rocco.
After the 12-year-old from Haddonfield Little League hit a two-run homer on July 16, Rocco flipped his bat in the air in jubilation. That crossed the line, according to the game’s umpire, and Rocco was tossed from the game, meaning he was also suspended from the next game his team played in the state tournament.
But after his family took legal action, Rocco was allowed to play his next game on Thursday, where Haddonfield ultimately lost 10-0 to Elmora Little League. His squad did win Friday, 11-3, over Ridgewood.
This incident led some MLB players to speak on the ejection, including Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.
