Little League World Series - Page 14 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Yes the other teams have tournaments too. Lol @ thinking they just use the whole country.

It ISSS crazy how different the population some of these teams pull from though.

Little League is dying though. Travel is taking over. LL needs to adapt fast. Lengthen bases 10ft and add lead offs for the majors division.

years ago, when I started to notice all the little league fields being turned into soccer fields, a small part of me died.

****ing soccer.

great game to watch, but summer is for baseball and sunflower seeds.

I'm guessing that you've actually never watched a soccer game before

Wow, was watching today and I had no clue how short those bases were because my son's played travel since he was 9. Tappers to the mound and routine grounders are real interesting with bases so short.

You're right about LL dying. My son's travel team played the local LL Williamsport team in a tourny in June and just destroyed the LL all star team. I don't know the situation nationally but locally almost no good kids play in LL.

Lengthening bases is long over due. Remember it wasn't long ago fences were 200 feet around too. What a joke that was

Lol yeah some of these kids are hitting the ball 350ft.

Fences need to be 240 down the lines 260 to center or something.

If any decent hitter makes contact and the ball has any loft at all it's an auto HR with these dimensions.
