This kid on the Ohio team has a bat waggle and is late on every pitch. Wonder why. (Might be the same kid who appeared to be a mini-Reuschel on the mound, albeit with sub-Weaver composure, during a pre-Williamsport game.)
Other Ohio player scores points for repping Ryan Freel and wearing glasses from the Devoto Collection.
85-pitch rule is BS.

Yes -- especially the cameras' adeptness at catching crying kids and then staying on them.

He got hit in the ear with a 75-mph fastball and basically smirked in the face of the lady who came out to check up on him. They made him stand on one leg, and touch his nose with his eyes closed.

curacao was hilarious tho - in the first inning the pitcher gave up 5 ER but 0 hits (like a 12 year old ollie perez) & then that dude smacked a homer and pimped it so hard

Observations:
LLWS Catchers: You don't need to frame every pitch. Srsly, you look like an idiot when you try and pull one back that's a foot outside.
There are some ill Big Sisters with the Staten Island team. It could just be in relation to Iowa.
The cage helmets are gay and sad.
LLWS Players: Come up with your own tics. The Jeter hand at the umpire is gay and sad. Besides, you should be really trying to play like that dashing Jimmy Rollins.

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.

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.
