What really bothers me is when announcers claim a LL fastball is the equivalent of a 100 mph MLB pitch.  There is a difference between closing speed and reaction time.  The ball thrown at 75 mph is going about 68 mph by the time it crosses the plate vs. a MLB 97 mph pitch is closing at about 94 mph.  Many of us coaches throw a lot harder than LL pitchers do.  It was fun to watch a 6' 3' former AAA left hander throw bp from 48' (Pony Bronco Division) .

It's not the same without Harold Reynolds. He had a passion for LL these other announcers lack.Hershiser did a good job last year. Hopefully he'll be back.

Brent Musburger will have the help of analysts Orel Hershiser and Dusty Baker.  This year Dusty Baker will be enshrined into the the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum's Hall of Excellence.  Dusty will also help in the game between the West and Midwest on Tuesday, August 21st and other games.

Frank, it is good to see you here.  On IE hit the word "File" and drop down will come; now hit "Send" and it will give you three (3) choices; choose "Shortcut to Desktop".  It is now on your Desktop; just click and you are here again.  Have fun.

Frank!!!!!!  Waz happenin', brother?????? I thought we'd lost you again.

As to the question at hand - I think they should have soon-to-be-former league presidents as extra special added guests.

Stupid Little League Announcer Tricks: Ohio-Georgia game. Announcer says batter can't run on a passed ball third strike like they can in the MLB. Bases were loaded (meaning 1st base occupied) and there were no outs. Get a clue. The batter would be out in the MLB with less than 2 outs, if 1st base is occupied, even if the baserunner was in the process of stealing 2nd base.
