I can attest to the fact
5-4-3-2-1 — there is no countdown needed to announce the beginning of the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series. It is here with all its accompanying hoopla, and the events of the next 12 days will transform our area into a media center as what happens here is relayed around the globe. It is always
