The "olympics" in my town!

G'day Everyone!

Well, it had to happen. Williamsport, PA has been cleaning up lately. Police cracking down on local crime, neighbors clean up their lawns, patriotic flags coming out, ESPN setting up shop, and all the players arriving into Williamsport on the planes that are packed full yet only a few flights while others have to be bused in.

Here it is! Little League World Series. The once a year games when kids from all over the world take over the town for a week and a half. We used to call it "The yearly baseball Olympics". Little League didn't go all out in flashing it's self like China. But the baseball games are dedicated to kids and their teams. This is their time of their life to play for a title. They worked hard to get here. No drugs are involved. But they have courage, faith, intelligence, and sense of fair play.

From August 15- August 24, it becomes more like a sandlot baseball game being played every day. For the kids, this is their ultimate summer vacation of a lifetime for them in their young lives.

May the dream of hitting that winning home run come true for them. The Olympics in China may go on and be controversial, but not in my back yard here. We're going to bask in this "Olympics" through Little League World Series and let the kids play it honestly!

Semper FI.
