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 stopped watching at the end of the 5th and missed all the scoring. Ugh.
Honestly, I can't believe how much I enjoy watching the LLWS. I'm not really a baseball fan anymore but the nostalgia of Little League is really pleasant in the dead of summer. Its a great way to pass time waiting for football season. I also enjoy the CWS quite a bit too.

did not understand the announcer's explanation of getting the ball to the pitcher

Timeouts can only be called if the pitcher has the ball. Fear of baserunner from first to second makes the 2nd baseman and 1st baseman want to run the baserunner down. But team is screaming toss to the pitcher.

Me too....the nostalgia does it for me.... I'll always remember when I was 12-15 and spending my later summer vaca at my grandparents' on the central Florida coast and watching the championship game every year. I'm not even sure if any of the earlier round games were on TV pre-ESPN.
