(sigh) Take this hint and run with it:
Even if you don't like baseball, tune in to ESPN starting August 18th for the Little League World Series, which runs through the 27th. Prior to then there are televised regional games where you can watch the teams, get to know the kids and decide which teams are hot this year and will most likely be in the championship. It's great fun and the talent of these young boys is absolutely amazing! I watch every year and never cease to be asounded at the level of play and dedication to sport that the kids and coaches have. ABC usually carries the championship game in prime time, testament to the appeal this series has.
What's touching is that these young kids are so talented and hardly ever make an error. But when they do, you'll often see tears of frustration from them -- which reminds us that even though they look like pros out there, they're still kids. Never in these games do you see mean-spiritedness or arrogance, and it's a pleasure to watch kids from competing teams exhibiting friendliness to one another between innings or games. I'm bored frequently watching PROFESSIONAL baseball, but the Little League World Series is always a hoot and full of action. If you haven't seen it yet, tune it. You'll love it!

What the heck is that picture? The ump looks like he wandered onto the field from a Target Catalog modeling shoot, and doesn't have enough sense to realize that he will lose his teeth on the next foul ball.
Oh, and Harold Reynolds got fired from ESPN its LLWS coverage for groping an intern at the Outback in Bristol, CT.
There is a lesson in these two tidbits.
