Don't take your childhood failures out on me scottwildcat.

I dig em, too.  Not quite as cool as Omaha but still cool to watch those kids having the time of their lives.

how can you fools like this crap? It is little kids playing baseball....

This is crap being on TV is the root of all evil that is parents and people being over obsessed with kids sports.

Once they get to high school go rough ridin' all out.

But i worked for Manhattan Parks and Rec and supervised lil kids softball and baseball and we had parent on parent fist fights, a parent going at a coach with a baseball bat and a coach decking and knocking out an assistant coach for not being more aggressive on the base path.

I coached my Pony 4 team to a Manhattan parks and rec league title.  Only fight I ever had was fighting off all the moms who loved coach LSOC.

I coached third for you guys once. sent every kid I could. just kept sending. arm tired by end of game.

Also, it is shitty baseball.  No leadoffs. Really short fences so there are tons of home runs.  Closer mound / shorter bases than most leagues for kids that age. Everyone on the team has to play each game rule.  WTF?

I really enjoyed these two posts.

It's overhand pitch softball.

These are the same type of bad person parents who have elaborate 8th grade graduation parties for their kids.

Fanning's Iowa team lost out in the Iowa State Championship to the team that went on to make the LLWS.

It's cool. First you have to make the All-Star team out of your city/town's little league (for me it was Sioux City), then you gotta win districts, then state, then regionals, and finally the LLWS. It's quite the journey.

There's a few things i dont really care for about the series.  One, the LL rules are pretty silly when compared to other leagues of same aged players.  Two, the whole all star team thing is pretty weak.  My summer teams would always pick up a pitcher or two for the state/regional/national tournaments but it was basically the same team we had played with all summer.  Kinda weird to just throw a team together to try and win a few games.    I know my summer teams used to dominate the legion teams around the state when we'd run into them in tournaments.  Hell, my U-16 team run ruled the state champion Great Bend team and they were almost all graduated high school seniors.  Still, the LLWS is a lot of fun to watch and its always neat to hear about MLB guys who played in it.

LLWS is weird.  In Kansas / Missouri all of the good players are playing on teams that played USSSA tournaments and maybe a AABC league at that age.  I didn't know a single kid who played in a "Little League" league.
