LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES - CHULA VISTA - LUKE RAMIREZ REMEMBERED

On Saturday afternoon the top two California Little League teams took to the field in hopes of winning the game which would give them the right to play in Williamsport Pennsylvania at the 2013 Little League World Series. The team from Southern California dropped the the Northern California team in a blowout.

While watching the the contest I recalled a team from Chula Vista which won the 2009 Little League World Series which was led by Luke Ramirez. If you didn't see him play he was a men among boys. At 12 years old he was 6 feet tall and 200 pound. He hit homer after homer and threw the ball 73 miles per hour from 46 feet. The guy was scary.

During the Saturday game I began looking for Ramirez to see how he was doing as a high school ball player. The best video of the now 6-foot-3 inch 225 pound baseball player is below. He will graduate from East Lake High School in the spring of 2014. Click here to see that video.
