2018 Little League World Series Champions!

Good game, the pitcher threw a complete game gem vs. South Korea, shut them out 3-0.
It's always a little sad watching the team that loses, as they all played well throughout. But I also figure that's the way it goes, there's only one winner and it's refreshing to see that kids
from around the world get used to that.
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Baseball - the Great American Character Builder. As long as not every team is first place, and kids don't score homeruns when they whiff.

    Spent many a time trotting back to the bench looking at the ground ahead of me after striking out, feeling like crap. Definitely sucked, but my teammates were supportive, and it made the fielding and pitching triumphs just that much better when the tables were turned. The lesson? You might not be good at everything. Take your lumps, practice, try harder, and appreciate and own the gifts you have. Also, learning that you can still have true camaraderie even in failure.

    And punch an ump every once in a while.

    I bet they all still got trophies...

    Congrats to the boys from Hawaii.

    I saw part of that game and it was fun to watch real baseball without the professional theatrics that inundates us now. Congrats to both teams for getting that far.
