I want to offer a belated congratulations to the Morgan Park based Jackie Robinson West Little League team. They made it all the way to the Little League World Series and unfortunately lost to a team from South Korea on Sunday for the Little League baseball world title.
Unfortunately I never had the chance to truly watch them play but it's
great to know this group of young men have already tasted success in
their young sports careers. Here's hoping they will continue to have
success not only on the baseball diamond but also in their lives away
from sports.
Every young man or woman either playing youth sports or even playing in
high school, college or professional can always have the ability to
become a champion if they work extremely hard. That also goes for life
whether in school or in a career as well.
Chicago was truly behind this team and this morning there is a parade for them.
BTW, Worlee over at The Sixth Ward
shared his own thoughts on not only JRW, but also the state of Little
League baseball on the south side. We need to provide outlets such as
this for our youth to keep them out of trouble and team them skills that
would help them not only in sports but in life.
