Little League World Series Player's 'Dream Vacation' Immediately Goes Viral
A Little League World Series player's "dream vacation" is going viral on social media.
The 2025 Little League World Series is entering its second week. The tournament, which features 20 teams - 10 from the United States and 10 from around the globe - will crown its champion this weekend. The championship game, featuring the best from America and the best from the international pool, is set for Sunday, August 24.
On Monday, Japan took on Venezuela. While the Japanese team - typically a favorite in Williamsport - was unable to take home the win, one player went viral on social media, for his "dream vacation."
Subaru Yoshida, a third baseman batting 7th for Japan, revealed his favorite vacation in a Q&A with the Little League World Series.
His pick: "Canada."
The pick immediately sparked reaction on social media, with some fans joking that it's not grand enough.
Canada is an awesome vacation destination, though
While this Little League World Series player's favorite destination pick is going viral - and being mocked by some - Canada can actually be an awesome travel destination.
Earlier this month, my girlfriend and I traveled to Vancouver for 10 days. We spent time in the city, took a float plane out to Gabriola Island and drove up to Whistler. It's one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been. Vancouver is a great international city with a lot of cool culture - good restaurants (excellent sushi) and fun shopping - while Gabriola Island and Whistler are truly picturesque.
You can do a lot worse than spending 10 days in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. Hopefully, this 12-year-old Little League World Series player will get a chance to visit one day.

Longtime Michigan Reporter Taunts Ohio State Fans About Ryan Day
Longtime Michigan Reporter Taunts Ohio State Fans About Ryan Day originally appeared on The Spun. For as great as Ryan Day has been since taking over for Urban Meyer at Ohio State, his record vs. Michigan in The Game continues to haunt him. The Buckeyes are riding a four-game losing skid to The Team Up North — which had largely ruined OSU's national championship hopes up until last year. With the recent expansion of the College Football Playoff, Ohio State was afforded the opportunity to still compete for its first national title under Day despite its two regular season losses — and the program might've been better off for it. OSU curb stomped its way to the CFP Final where they ultimately proved to be too much for Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But that still hasn't stopped fans in Ann Arbor from letting the Bucks coach know about how poorly his team has performed against Big Blue. This last one was arguably the worst considering that Michigan was barely over .500 when they found a way to go into Columbus and plant the UM flag (and keep in mind Day lost to a Wolverines team that didn't even have its coach on the sideline in 2023). Michigan reporter keeps it real After an Ohio State fan posted to X that: "It's on Ryan Day to send Michigan to hell, and to be honest, I want it that way," longtime Michigan reporter Jordan Strack put last season's loss into (savage) perspective for the OSU alum. "lol. Ryan Day was a 3 touchdown favorite - with a $20 million roster- facing a walk-on quarterback - and a Michigan team who couldn't complete a forward pass on his home STILL LOST," the former WTOL sports director replied. To the Buckeyes credit, they responded to the loss about as well as they possibly could've. But its still not going to be pretty if Ohio State suffers a fifth-straight loss to the Wolverines under Day come Nov. 29.

Stephanie White's Response To Caitlin Clark Question Isn't Encouraging
Stephanie White's Response To Caitlin Clark Question Isn't Encouraging originally appeared on The Spun. It hasn't been the kind of sophomore season many had hoped for when it comes to Caitlin Clark. After a historic Rookie of the Year campaign that saw her set numerous WNBA records and help grow the game to heights it had never previously reached, injuries have mostly hampered the No. 1 pick in 2025. The two-time All-Star has been limited to just 13 games this season with less than a month remaining before the playoffs — and her averages are down pretty much across the board outside of steals and assists. Despite that the Indiana Fever have found a way to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference standings and sit at 18-16 with a pivotal part of the regular season schedule coming up. Obviously the question on everybody's mind is when we'll see CC return to the court. But when asked about it ahead of the team's game vs. the Connecticut Sun this afternoon, head coach Stephanie White didn't exactly sound confident that that would be the case. Speaking to reporters prior to tip-off, White opened up about the team's thought process of Clark coming back before the start of postseason play. Stephanie White's response isn't encouraging "That's the hope. The hope is that she's back," White said (via ESPN's Alexa Philippou). "... The experience throughout the year, trying to come back and come back quickly, has also taught her that she needs to make sure that she's 100 percent," the Fever coach continued. "Yes, every competitor wants to play, but at the same time doing it the right way and making sure, after we've had a couple of setbacks, that we're prioritizing her long-term health and wellness is the most important thing." Ultimately, White says that the team is taking things one day at a time and she's confident in whatever combination of ladies Indiana is able to put out on the court. "We have great leadership in that locker room," she stated. "This group is tight. They're connected. They stay together. I think, for us, reiterating we've got to be where our feet are. We can't look too far behind us. We can't look too far in front of us. We've got to make sure that we're focused on one day at a time." Fans are concerned "Not the answer we want to hear. Not exactly confidence building," a user wrote. "I want her healthy as a fan, I'm also realistic enough to say if there is not enough time to practice, play with team before playoffs they need to shut her down," another added. "I just don't believe her anymore," a fan said. "Isn't she supposed to be returning to practice this week? Why didn't she say that? It doesn't seem like she's coming back." Time will tell when Clark's finally able to get back. But right now, there's definitely some worried fans in Fever country.
