"The manager of the Australian team at the Little League World Series was suspended by Little League Baseball"

ESPN:

Calvert, who coached his team through the state tournaments in Australia, was suspended by Little League Baseball in June for playing a game in which one of his 13 players did not have an at-bat. That player just happened to be his son, 9-year-old Thomas Calvert, who was left in the on-deck circle in the team's 5-2 victory in the team's first game of the national tournament that it eventually went on to win.

Calvert is the first manager in the history of the Little League World Series to be suspended for the duration of the tournament.
