After a team of talented teenage baseball players from Venezuela swept through a qualifying tournament in Mexico last month, it seemed they were bound for the Senior League World Series in the U.S. But the team was denied the visas necessary to attend, Little League Baseball International said.

Do not de-value this work! These criticisms come across as extremely jealous scientists minimizing the work of a well-respected female scientist and her team. Shapiro said from the start they are modified grey wolves and explained why it’s scientifically OK to refer to them as dire wolves.
