Joey Gallo and Bryce Harper were on the most powerful Little League team
Texas Rangers rookie Joey Gallo is one of the few players in the game with 80 raw power. Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper also fits in that category.

The threat of two possible 40+ home run players hitting back-to-back would likely terrify opponents. Major-league pitchers are fortunate Gallo and Harper play for different teams.
Little League pitchers weren’t so lucky. You see, once upon a time, Gallo and Harper were teammates.
We’re going to go out on a limb here and say this was the most powerful team in Little League history.
The photo also leaves us with plenty of questions. Who hit higher in the order? Did the two hit back-to-back? Who had the better power numbers? We demand detailed stats! Until then, we can only dream about the stupid numbers those two put up.

Sadly, we’re also reminded of the Little League pitchers who had to face this duo in a game. A large number of tears were likely shed.
If it’s any consolation, we hear mom still took those pitchers out for ice cream after the game.
