philly97flyer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I was 12 the year Toms River, NJ won the world series. We lost the district championship by a run to the team that lost to Toms River in the NJ state championship game. So, I guess that's kinda close? But not really lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthSidePride Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 River Forest, IL was one game away from the LLWS the year we won state. We brought in our closer who blew a 2 run lead, as we eventually lost by 3. That kid never was the same.... HereCometheHawks.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBlueshirt Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I was a catcher for a Great Kills (Staten Island) Little League All-Stars one year. We got mauled during the regional games by a bunch of teams from Jersey who were all about a head taller than us.I also kept getting stuck in right field because the coach's son was also a catcher. (And a lousy one at that. Stupid bull Little League politics.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Lafayette was at this past LLWS, and lost in the regional finals to Lubbock TX.The Babe Ruth World Series is also held in Abbeville (the closest Wal-Mart to me, woohoo!... or not) every year.As for this year's LLWS, nice ending, but can Brent Musberger fit any other trite catchphrases in a sentence describing the game? What a muppet. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Brass Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I played Little League one year, and we had to have 2 teams, because so many kids tried out. If we took the best players, then we would of gone to Williamsport. No lie. We were that damn good. Unfortunately, the parents ruined it for us. At tryouts, one of the parents was the "director" of sorts for the age group, and wanted her kid on the better team. The kid sucked. Couldn't field, couldn't hit, couldn't do anything. The coach was basically forced to pick him. The same parent also demanded that a bunch of other kids make the team too. These kids were "power-hitters", even though at try-outs we were fed meatballs. Theses kids had horrible attitudes, and the coach wanted to take kids who weren't as skilled, but provided other key attributes for our team. Defense, versatility, good clubhouse presense, etc. But nope. The parent had to have her way and we got stuck with the Carl Everett's of our league.We made it to the State Championship Semi-Finals. Since some of these kids had another year left (the same "power-hitters" I was talking about) they decided not to try. When confronted after the game, they admitted that they didn't try and would just try next year. We lost 9-6 in that game. I played CF. I only batted about .250 on the season, but in about 20 games or so, I got 26 stolen bases. More of a defensive player and good baserunner than a hitter.But again, that year was another painful reminder of how parents have ruined youth sports....
