Reply to comment by jar1967 in TIL : In World War II, the youngest serviceman in the US military was Calvin Graham — age 12. Graham lied about his age when he enlisted in the US Navy. His real age was not discovered after he was wounded. by PyrowithJared

When I played LL baseball back in the mid 70s, the star pitcher for the undefeated league champion team, was 5'10", and weighed over 160.

This was back before there were any limits on how often you could pitch. He never lost a game in three years of playing. That kid was damned near unhittable. They had to change out the catcher every few innings.
