Little League Baseball, Little League World Series

This time of the year kids and teenagers are on vacations, so this is the perfect time to go and play some sports international competitions for them.

 

Little League is the most important organization for the development of baseball players around the world.
Im gonna quote their Mission:

""Little League Baseball, Incorporated is a non-profit organization whose mission is to "to promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball and Softball."
Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.
Founded in 1939; granted Federal Charter July 16, 1964, by unanimous act of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States of America and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson as Public Law 88-378, 88th Congress H.R. 9234, and amended December 26, 1974, Public Law 93-551, 93rd Congress, H.R. 8864. Little League is tax exempt. "" - Taken from LittleLeague.org -

They also have a Softball division but we are not going to to go on that subject this time.

This philosophy has spread all around the world, and Little League exists in several coutries, helping to develop good players and better citizens.

This summer in the US, the 65th Little League adn Big League World Series is being played, by kids adn teenagers from different countries and cultures, they are having the best experience of their lives so far...
 This is Baseball at its purest expression!
Kids of all ages (the oldest are 18) playing baseball to the highest level, , showing pride, courage and character, like the best MLB player... and they are not being paid at all.

I am proud to say that I played LitteLeagueBaseball in my country (Venezuela) when I was younger.

So watching the LLWS takes me back and bring me so many memories...

Espn is broadcasting this years LLWS as they do every years, if you have a chance to watch it I highly recommend it, you could be watching the raise of future's Major Leaguers
