I’m going to be hard to talk to for the next several days – My body may be here, but my heart is in Williamsport with the Little League World Series, which I fell in love with as a college newspaper intern, covering the news side of the games.
It got me up close and personal with the huge event and started my love for pin collecting.
I wish I could just take 10 days off and go stay there – but I can’t because I have a real life now with responsibilities.
So I am forced to watch the action unfold via social media until I can make my annual pilgrimage there to hunt for pins and have some fun.
The games get underway today – here’s some people tweetin’ it up from the scene:
