I feel like it’s safe to say many of us experienced some formative life lessons on the hallowed fields of Little League games. Whether or not you were a part of a more serious club, or something run through a small, local community center where the team didn’t have a name and you and your pint-sized teammates came up with your own (shout out to my fellow Grant Park Harrow Hurricanes), almost every baseball fan has had a little play time of their own.
Between skinned knees and sunburns, there were also moments of genuine joy and triumph.
