Fairfield Little League World Series

I had to laugh that one of the kids was up at bat and his "fun fact" thing said that before every game he has a mortadella and mozzarella sandwich.

My mannnnnnnnnn

i tried to explain to my friends outside of the tri-state that CT is super italian, and some people actually talk like some of the sopranos characters (east haven im looking at you), but they just assume CT is rich blonde dudes living in Darien. they also never understand that CT has a lot of rough parts as well!

In addition to having the largest Italian population per capita in the states Connecticut has the largest Puerto Rican population per capita by a huge margin, the largest Jamaican population per capita, the largest Albanian population per capita...

People outside of CT still seem to think everyone who lives in the state is named Muffy and Buffy.

He blew an NIL opportunity by not shouting out A & S or Sorrento Importing as the supplier of the sandwich....

Interesting stuff - did not know these tidbits. Fact check verified all spot on.

You can tack on 4th for Portugese, 2nd for Brazilian, 3rd for Polish and 5th for Haitian. Not too shabby on the diversity fronts.

I gotta be honest, that’s my perception from out of state. Connecticut always seems very floofy and preppy and kinda how people picture Duke. That’s just the external view. I know it’s not accurate but it’s the first thing that pops in my mind.

I never thought I would hear someone say they own a summer home in Daytona.

Not my Summer home - go there in Winter - just had to go for FIL big 85th bday - oldest living FBI agent left so snuck in a few rounds of golf but yeah, mostly a Winter home.

that's just Fairfield County
Darien, Greenwich, Ridgefield, Westport, Wilton, Weston, New Canaan

as far as today's game:
looks like both teams will using #2 starters
i think last non-Luca start, Fairfield used #3 to start, then #2 to finish
not sure they can do that today - if they lose they drop down to losers bracket and will have to play tomorrow without their #1, #2 or #3
no clue who they have after that (maybe the big lefty designated hitter?)
if they win, they are all set to play again on Saturday with Luca fully rested
