Pure
Is there anything better and more fun to watch than the Little League World Series?!! Look at the four major Professional sports leagues.
NFL - Michael Vick fiasco
NHL - Gambling mess and lockouts
MLB - Steroids
NBA - Referee gambling scandal
They are a mess, each involved in some kind of huge scandal…its a turn-off as a sports fan.
Which is why watching the Little League World Series is so much fun. These kids play because they love the game, they are gamers and go out and have a good time. I sat down to watch one of the International semi-final games between Venezuela and Curacao yesterday and it was one of the best games I’ve watched.
Tied 1-1 in the 7th (extra inning in LLWS play) and Venezuela scores making it 2-1 going into the bottom half of the inning, Curacao looks like the tank is empty…two outs and nobody on. Suddenly, two runners are on and a batter at the plate with two strikes. Looks like the game is over…not so fast… the pitcher leaves one over the plate and CRACK, the little guy hits a 3-run walk-off homerun to win the game and send his team to the International final.
These kids aren’t worried about endorsements, contracts, or anything else. They just want to play baseball. Its pure. Its fun. Its the way it is supposed to be.
