I just made a pit stop at the local hamburger joint to grab a bite, and the Little League World Series was on the teevees. Saudi Arabia was playing Canada, which probably isn't the marquee matchup of the tournament, but former Saudi first baseman Aaron Durley is a story unto himself. (Just so ya know: apparently, the Saudi team is comprised mostly of "the children of foreign petroleum workers, many from the United States.")

Anyway, Durley, who's making his third appearance who wrapped up his eligibility at Williamsport in 2006, is currently 6'10", 280 pounds. And he's 14 years old. In 2005, he was 6'4", last year he grew 6'8", 256 pounds, and now, two inches and 24 pounds later, he's bigger than Charlotte Bobcats forward Sean May.

Unsurprisingly, Durley also plays basketball, and according to ESPN's Gary Thorne, he dunked for the first time this year. Who knows how big Durley will be, but according to the YouTubage (after the jump), compared to a 13-year-old Shaq Fu, Durley's two inches taller, and his 2006 shoe size, 19, is three sizes bigger.
