A reminder for those of you who are not aware. Today the Little League World Series. starts. I watched some of the regional games, and today the big one starts. I also have been watching the young ladies play softball in Oregon. I have been a fan for many years of Little League, used to do some work with the Holton Trotters here in town. My Son Brad played and I helped out a little.
Good, honest, athletes in Little League. The World Series games have grown each year. It's just nice to watch kids enjoying the games. Big crowds watching in the stands, and true emotions. Nothing as good as seeing a little gal or guy chase a fly ball, stick out the glove and ...... catch it ... that look is priceless..
After the game, some tears, some elation, but within a short time, the losers and the winners are "high fiven" and probably playing video games together. No doping, just bubble gum.
Check the link up above and see who is playing, they start today, Thursday, 8/15. Do yourself a favor, watch them play, follow a team, get involved .....

Hey, what's the score - Ah, we don't keep score
Protests, the economy in a shambles, real estate in a state of chaos, prices going up, imports, exports, government spending that is out of control and let's not forget the "protests."
I started wondering who these protesters are, their generation, and I came to some conclusions.
These are people who never kept score in Little League, any sports, they played for the "fun" of it, they have never lost at anything they have done because no one kept score. They were never disciplined in school, probably never spanked and most likely were never taught, to think for themselves, they were never taught how to learn because the computer didn't know about that. They never learned to think for themselves, and my guess is they lived on their cell phone, and played games standing in front of their TV.
Many have been "supported" by "the government" most of their lives, rent, food, Christmas meant firemen bringing them toys and food, not Santa, firemen, "Toys for Tots."
There was no "Father" figure in many of their homes, they had one parent, they were raised by Mom, who had to work one or two jobs just to make ends meet, so their "family values" might have been blurred.
They "play the game," no winners, no losers, they just participate, and do what the coaches tell them to do. If they played basketball, there were generally one or two good players, the rest, just followed along, same in Little League baseball. Even if you had no talent at all, the rules, let you get in the game, generally in right field, the ball didn't get hit that way often, an ideal candidate to protest - something, anything. In right field they stood with a glove on their hand, now they stand with a sign in their hand, not sure what it says, but they hold it, no less, no winners - no losers, "Jus like wen I waas a kidd."

Little League Games are GREAT
If you are not watching these Little League games you are missing out on some great entertainment.
Mom is sitting in the stands, eyes are closed, can't watch, her son is at the plate. Another Mom has her eyes covered by her arm, her son is pitching. Great, pure, emotions.
Many of these young boys have played together for many years, long seasons, a lot of traveling, up early, late to bed, been a long journey.
The World Series starts this Thursday, August 18.Be sure to be tuned in and follow all the games, true sports, the way it used to be. Genuine emotion, from the players, the Moms, the Dads and the fans in the stands.
