A kid from curaçao had just hit a grand slam to tie it up!

She was lovely. I have a CD of old time radio show ‘Suspense' and she was one of the actors

Pretty…who is that?

I've never understood retiring numbers. There should be a way to honor players (ok Hall of Fame is good) without taking numbers out of circulation. Pictures on corridors, statues, what have you.

13?

😂😂

We now have two threads about it

Same generation; different outlooks

On the other hand there are 14 year old diseased looking ho's keeping talented but bone headed MLB players from ever playing again, but that's HISSSSS fault….

Less thrilled with the amount of TV which has gone from title game only years back to now saturation coverage designed mostly to provide ESPN programming hours which they use to give their on-air talent a last vacation before their full-on football blitz gets under way. It's treated as innocent fun but I question the benefit of showing the failures, which inevitably come with the successes, of children on national TV while also ranking them with radar gun readings and other such stuff. The fewer adults that get involved the kids' sports the better IMO and the LLWS now has a whole lotta adults involved for reasons that go beyond children's games. So while I hope everyone involved has a blast, I don't watch and have no intention of starting. That's WilliamsPORT. Get your sweet shit straight. How would you have liked a radar reading on your 12 year old throws? And…what a super way of knowing what all teams attended before the inevitable China/USA matchup Some of these kids will never see the likes of this again. Or maybe with your local support.., oh never mind It's magic

I remember that picture and wondered if his wife made that pretty shirt. Bernie played ball too.

Wow great read! A lot of research!

It's terrific! The unfortunate accident of the young man falling out of his bunk bed last year aside, the players' housing sounds like a dream vacation 🙂 All sorts of exclusive little stories in local papers, fun side trips for the players; they are really treated like the special athletes they are but yet still as kids. There's a story in our paper about one boy who is actually a refugee from Kyiv playing for Chech Rep (sp?) Amazing! The whole area goes nuts! The LL Museum is a really wonderful visit too.

Yay they did

A decent fan would give it back

I hope some of you are watching. I know I start this thread every year, but it's near and dear to my heart. Even if your boys are long past the age of Little League it is a joy to see, and Williamsport is such a great town and makes this a really super event every year. Enjoy!

Probably her mom lol

Awesome! Still in my phones memory https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/baseball/who-loredana-chevalier-accusing-wander-franco-what-know-far-identity-alleged-victimhttps://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/baseball/who-loredana-chevalier-accusing-wander-franco-what-know-far-identity-alleged-victim

Not defending pedophiles, but there's a non-zero chance this is an extortion since her mom seems to be the source of the story. I would imagine right now that there is some furious investigating going on by MLB. Yes she doesn't look like a typical 14 year old schoolgirl Edit: he's guilty of bad taste that's for sure lolol
