Peanuts, crackerjacks, and punch-ups

In honour of the Little League World Series, which starts tomorrow ... Canada is being represented by a team from B.C., but you probably assumed as much.

By the way, did anyone else see the article that went out on the wires about how there are actually travel teams for T-ball? Children who aren't even old enough to pitch each other are travelling out-of-state to play games ... Eight-year-olds, dude.

It kind of creates nostalgia for the days of absentee fathers who were too busy to drive you to games and mothers who hoped you'd grow out of your sport phase (but always made sure that you got the cards that came in cereal boxes).
