Watching the Little League Baseball World Series is tradition in my home
I lived in PA from 1992 to 1998. Watching the Little League World Series was great! I NEVER even knew it existed till then. We traveled to Williamsport one year, to experience the excitement. It was magical! My husband and I watch the tournament every year. We try to catch all the games. This year, again, is extra special. Of course, we'll be rooting for South Hill! Will you?
