I can admit it, I’m a sucker for the Little League World Series. I’m a sucker for Little League in general. I was never much of a skilled player myself, but I still have great memories of my time taking the field. Or more accurately hiding as far out in left field as humanly possible and praying the ball would never be hit in my direction.
Currently, my favorite thing about the LLWS is the discovery of one Alfred “Big Al” Delia.
Big Al is perfection. He has confidence, he knows himself, and dammit, he’s going to hit him some dingers.
