Episode 379 - The Little League World Series Gets A Little Bigger
Manage episode 501808324 series 2814344
Perhaps nothing unites more baseball fans than the shared experience of playing Little League Baseball. But, until 1974, only boys were allowed to play. After that, it took until 1984, 41 years ago this week, before the first girl played in Little League's crowning jewel, The Little League World Series. On this auspicious anniversary, Mike and Bill look back at the origins and history of Little League Baseball, and of the Little League World Series itself. And, aside from a few significant bumps in the road, they find what's mostly a pretty feel-good story for once.
Plus, happy birthday to Buck Weaver and Diego Segui!
And farewell to Diego Segui, Bob Heffner, and Matt Murray.
