YOU GO DAWGS...:)
The best news I had all day. Congrats to all the children who had the time of their lives.
Regards!
Giving me chill bumps!!!!! While I know there are a few idiots in youth sports, when you watch young boys play great baseball, gosh it is awesome!!! My 9 yr. old loves baseball, we go to watch his games and will end up staying at the field watching other teams, sometimes we end up at the park all day.
Hope the Brave Bull Pen was watching...might learn something.
This was a glorious win for the United States/Georgia kids!!! We've watched this game so many times over the years and have suffered many losses to other countries. How sweet this victory is and so well deserved by such a wonderful and mannerly team of fine young American boys.
