Little Leauge World Series

I'd love to be able to watch a game at the Little League World Series. It looks like such a fun atmosphere to watch a game. I've never been but I usually watch as many games as I can on ESPN. In fact, I'm watching Japan vs. Curacao right now. One of the major reasons I like to watch is that it reminds me of my Little League days. These kids are always glaringly better than we ever were though.

Yes...I went 30 years ago and I'll never forget how impressed I was at the class the kids showed in victory or defeat. It's a lesson the pros should take to heart. I've since left PA and moved to CA, but 3 weeks ago my son and I were driving cross country and I took him to the ballpark in Williamsport. They were putting the finishing touches on it preparing for the World Series. It's even more beautiful than in '78. I've been following it on ESPN and it's baseball played for the love of the game. That's impressive. The only thing that makes me cringe is when these 12 year old pitchers let loose a curve ball...at that age they shouldnt be throwing stuff, it rips up their 12 year old arms. I had to abandon pitching and play second base due to the damage throwing a curve caused my adolescent right arm. Anyway...here's hoping for a hard fought series, no matter who wins.
