2007 Little League World Series

My friends' nephew went 2/5 last night (2 doubles) but with his speed he stretched 2 infield grounders into forced errors pulling the 1B off the bag. Big win for the underdogs to advance to the (USA) final.

nice!

After golf, we were in a bar watching the Hawaii-Virginia game last night. The guy beside me said he played in the 1952 Series in Williamsport, on a team out of Toronto's High Park. I asked him if played against anyone notable, but he couldn't remember anybody.

That was the game I was watching as well.

Thanks! Will print that off and take it to golf next week. I would have seen your friend's nephew...I assume Hawaii went on to win? They had a big lead when I left.

Yeah, he bats 4th or 6th depending on who's pitching.

Forgot to mention that he stole home as well:

I was thinking about the guy from golf, and he has to have that year wrong. If he played in '52 as a 12-year-old, he'd be 79. I golfed with him yesterday--besides the fact that he didn't look 79 (maybe mid-'60s), and besides the fact that he scored well (~40 for 9), he was hitting the ball 200+ off the tee. 79-year-olds don't do that.
