There is something magical about sitting on the outfield hill in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and watching the Little League World Series.
Whether it’s reliving playing sports at a super young age — the players are from 10 to 12 years old — the unapologetic love for the game from the competitors or the collision of cultures on the same field or something else — it is hard to pinpoint. But it just all feels right while in attendance in a way few other sporting events do.
Now I’m not a huge baseball guy, I haven’t been bothered to watch an MLB game since opening day or attend a Penn State game since freshman year and I’m now a senior.
