Michelle looks thrilled. How nice of her to basically photobomb this once-in-a-lifetime event for these kids.

This is sad for the kids and for little league. The grown ups screwed up another one.

It is cheating. The kids from outside the district are essential ringers.

Is there anything in Chicago that isn't corrupt? Even their pizza is questionable.
