CHICAGO (AP) — Citing “new information,” Little League International officials met Tuesday to discuss whether last summer’s Little League World Series national championship team from Chicago’s South Side added top suburban players in violation of residency rules.
Spokesman Brian McClintock said the organization’s charter committee was meeting to discuss “possible resolutions” regarding the Jackie Robinson West team and that a final decision would likely be made this week. He declined to say if the team might lose its title.
