WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Little Leaguer after Little Leaguer met major leaguer after major leaguer at BB&T Ballpark at Bowman Field, soaking up moments that will become some of the greatest memories of their lives.
Mets bullpen coach Ricky Bones felt the same way while meeting with Puerto Rico’s Little League team, amazed that his small town of Guayama was representing the Caribbean, with a chance to be crowned world champions.
“It’s a town with 41,000 people making it all the way here to the Little League World Series, it’s crazy,” Bones said. “It’s such a thrill. It’s such a cool experience.
