Chicago Little League whistle-blower getting death threats

The New York Post reports:

The man who blew the whistle on the Jackie Robinson West Little League team claims he’s been receiving death threats for spoiling the youngsters’ glory.

The team from Chicago’s South Side was stripped of its US Little League Championship on Wednesday for using suburban players from outside its geographic boundaries.

Chris Janes — the vice president of the Evergreen Park Athletic Association and coach of a team that lost 43-2 to Jackie Robinson in four innings — had emailed Little League International in October to alert officials that he and others thought the all-star squad had been “manipulating, bending and blatantly breaking the rules for the sole purpose of winning at all costs.”

“We got about 50 messages. I only listened to a few. Some were gibberish … saying things like, ‘You’re an a–hole.’ A couple said, ‘You deserve to die,’” Janes told DNAinfo Chicago. “I’m not really concerned. People have been leaving s—ty emails and voicemails.”

Janes added: “An Evergreen Park police car has been parked in front of my house all morning.’’
