Bedford Home to the 'Little League Barry Bonds?'

Grant Lavigne has been nearly unstoppable at the plate this Little League all-star season.

That, of course, is if opposing teams pitch to him.

Much like the days when former star slugger Barry Bonds was breaking Major League Baseball's coveted home run record, Bedford's standout shortstop has been walked more often than not throughout the New Hampshire 11- and 12-year-old Little League all-star tournament. And Monday, an internet blogger drew a comparison between the two players.

Even though Lavigne was walked six of eight plate appearances in the two-game state championship series against Lamprey River of Raymond, he slugged two homers when he was allowed to swing the bat. Overall, he was limited to 19 official at-bats in seven games due to the plethora of walks, yet he contributed 10 of his team's 23 dingers, and 24 of the Bedford's 108 runs en route to a 17-for-19 tourney showing.
