District Play is coming

This is an exciting time for Little League Baseball. Every team is hoping they have what it takes to get to Williamsport.

I had the honor of trying to get our Carrollton All-Stars there last year. We finished 2-2, so I was pretty happy. It is a difficult time on the boys and the parents. You have to dedicate yourself to baseball for the better part of the summer. You spend about a month getting ready, and in most cases it is over in the blink of an eye.

Best wishes to this year's All-Stars from Carrollton, and to all the teams that are going to be playing. The Little League World Series has launched many careers. Quite a few wound up being professionals in other sports, but their first experience on such a grand stage was right there in Williamsport.
