Little Giants

I've been watching some of the games on ESPN leading up to the Little League World Series. Yesterday there was a game between Kansas and Indiana, and the Kansas team had a devastating pitcher who simply shut down Indiana. I really enjoy the Little League games when they come around every year. The play isn't as good as the Big Leagues, although sometimes it's very good. But in Little League the losing team cries.

It's not that I like to see kids cry, mind you. It's that the stakes are all out in the open for everyone to see and experience, and there's no money involved in those stakes. It's all a matter of the honor of winning for your team. The kids are stoic as all get out during the game, but when it's over they frequently break down and sob. It just brings the whole thing right into your heart. I'm pretty sure the best Big League players probably wish they could cry when they lose, but at least the money's some solace.
