Congratulations to the young boys of summer from Warner Robins, Ga., who won this year's Little League World Series championship. Those kids sure knew how to make it exciting, with a walk-off home run.
And yes, my congratulatory post would have been on the blog immediately after Sunday's game instead of four days later if the Little Leaguers from Lubbock had been the champs. But they still deserve applause for taking third in the tournament.
I love football -- Texas, you know. Babies wrapped in Dallas Cowboys blankets as soon as they are born and all that. -- but I really, really like baseball. And the Little League series, along with Cal Ripken's camps and competitions, are a good way for kids to participate in the "nicer," per comedian George Carlin's commentary, sport.
Who's on first? The IRS: Too often, though, adults mess things up. We all know about the poor sportsmanship of some parents. Now we have tax and administrative issues being mishandled by the organizing grownups.
