G"day Everyone!
Right now, my hometown is just in the final stages of preparation for this week. The next 10 days will be in Little League Baseball Mania Craze here. The teams have been arriving by plane, bus, and car for the last few days. Every hotel room is booked full to the brim and you'd have to really go out of your way to find a room if you wanted to be here now.
So, what team is here this year for the Little League World Series (LLWS) 2010?
We'll go pool by pool of 4 teams:
USA Team: Pool A
----------------
Toms River, NJ
Waipahu, Hawaii
Columbus, GA.
Hamilton, Ohio
USA Team: Pool B
-----------------
Fairfield, Conn
Plymouth, Minn
Pearland, Texas
Auburn, Wash.
International Team: Pool C
---------------------------
Manati, P.R.
Tokyo
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico
Ramstein AFB, Germany
International Team: Pool D
--------------------------
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Chitre, Panama
Vancouver, B.C.
Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Tonight, down town Williamsport will host the Grand Slam Parade at 6pm to show off the teams that are here. Tomorrow, at Lamade Stadium will have the open day ceremonies and the games will begin at 1pm. Yes, ESPN, ESPN, ESPNHD, and ABC crews are already here and ready to go. The weather will play a lot into the games. The blimp is expected to be here today as well.
I know Seek Geo was going to stop in and see the games. But he's tired from his trip. So many next year, he and Jes can come up to my neck of the woods in August 2011 and see the games.
Someone asked me if Obama is coming up here. Security at the Little League world series is already tight as it is. But hopefully he will NOT come here.
Over all, this should be a good LLWS here this year. Don't expect to see me at the game. I'll be content to watch it on TV here.
For those traveling on Route 15 in my area, please use extreme caution. Police will be out in force.
Thanks and I say WELCOME TO WILLIAMSPORT, PA TO EVERY LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM AND THEIR FAMILY! IT'S PLAY BALL 2010 TIME!

I wish a Team from Washington DC area would be in the Little League World Series. I hope President
Obama does not go to the event.
Even if he did, I would not show
up to watch him. President Bush
was always supporting of Little
League baseball. I doubt President
obama.
