LLWS - Am I the only one watching?
I've been watching the Little League teams battle it out for the last week and a half. Curacao took the international championship today by beating Taipei. Now Texas and California are duking it out for the U.S. Championship. The winner plays Curacao tomorrow for all the marbles. It's been a joy to watch these kids having fun and playing their hearts out.
I'm rooting for Texas today. Tomorrow I won't mind if Curacao wins because their entire countries population is only around 150,000. Not a big group of 12 and under year olds to find a dozen good players. Bob

Rooting for Texas, too, now that Tennessee is out. I'd rather watch Little League than Major League ball. Grandson was still in diapers when he started playing.

That kid pitching from California was awesome. He absolutely smoked those boys from Texas. Our mountain house is about twenty minutes from Williamsport. I have never been there, but I get request to rent our place, every year for the LLWS. One day, I will have to go and see them play. Oak

Aside from the parents of those kids, yes, you may be the only other one watching.

Went to dinner at a local place the other day and those games were on. It's been a long time since I enjoyed watching sports so much! Wish I could get those games on my TV.

Finals today on ABC at 3:00 ET. Taipei is whooping on Texas for 3rd place right now on ESPN. Kids having fun and no high dollar egos in sight. Bob

I was born in Williamsport, Pa. In the 50's we would play ball in the old city ball field located on Memorial Avenue all summer long (it wasn't a stadium then). We had four local teams, Lundy Lumber,Lycoming Dairy, Richardson Buick and Hemperly's Texico. Often we would get a few guys together and play ball during the day. Afterward we would climb the dike behind the field and skinny dip in Lycoming Creek. I knew one of the founders, Mr. Lindemuth, he had a tiny little Crosley car and his nephew Charlie was my friend and neighbor. His nic name was Fat Head!!! Mine was Zack. And others were Wimpy, Woody, Shorty. The good old days. Ed

According to ESPN, the 38 games broadcast from the event produced the most views on ESPN platforms in eight years, according to Nielsen. Additionally, Sunday's championship game on ABC averaged almost three million viewers with a peak of four million. That's the best mark since 2019

When the team returned to the small suburb of Los Angeles County, they were welcomed home with a parade and City Hall decorated for the World Champions.
