For those that just like small town parades, see the link. This is the complete parade from Monday night in Williamsport. Skim through to see the different teams come by.

Ryne Sandberg was the Grand Marshall, and is interviewed around the 40 min mark.

Thanks for posting. At About 1:04 is our team from Fargo. The football players I’m currently coaching are the same age and know a number of the kids on this Little League team. What a thrill!

Freepers like you are why I made the post in the first place. Glad you have such a close connection. Those kids will have the times of their lives in Williamsport - win or lose.

Then they'll grow up and get married and realize...

...that they had the times of their lives in Williamsport!

Recently watched the documentary, about the Kirkland, WA, team that won the series, defeating the favorite from Taiwan. It was a wonderful story, until the post series reality began to take a toll on the winning pitcher and his teammates. Still a fan of the games, despite the corporatization of the whole pageant.

Thanks for the post .. this is about the only baseball I watch anymore, other than the occasional college game.
