Before football and post-season baseball take over the sports world, this week kids will tell the sports story you don’t want to miss. Last week you might have caught a glimpse of Little Leaguers facing off in regional tournaments. For the boys, eight US teams will join eight teams from all over the world to play in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. In softball, ten teams from all over the world will face off in Portland, Oregon. There is something magical about the Little League World Series. These games are not played for free agency contracts or post-season bonuses. These games are played for pride and love of the game. It is the same game that millions of Little Leaguers all over the world play all spring and into summer. And in August, the best gather in Williamsport and Portland, in front of millions of fans, to show us the beauty of American’s pastime.
