Jackie Robinson West team from the south side of Chicago got better ratings on television than both the Cubs and Sox the other night! Lots of people pulling for them in the city.
Same in Philly with Taney. These two teams meat tonight, and I would love to go, but I just can't tonight. The Jackie Robinson team is very dynamic.
I'm amazed at the composure of these 12-13 year olds, who play in front of large crowds and maintain composure and focus. They estimated that 30,000-35,000 people were at the game last night. We were packed like sardines in the stands and the hill beyond the outfield was crowded to the highway.
The Las Vegas team is an offensive juggernaut. They came into the game averaging 3 runs per inning. I was very proud of the PA effort in keeping the game close to the final inning. They had opportunities to tie or go ahead, but NV held strong.
