Little League World Series has a bunch of storylines on it.
Clarendon Hills won the Great Lakes Regional this year.
Now they make their first ever Little League World Series appearance.
That's awesome.
No Illinois team, shockingly, has ever won the tournament, Caroline, that's a little nugget for you there.
So see what they can do.
I'll give you another nugget.
You ready for another nugget on this one?
I'm always ready for nuggets.
Look at this.
Glenmore Eagles on fire.
Glenmore Eagles have won 14 straight.
All right, that's amazing.
And the Glenmore Eagles have the shortest trip to Williamsport.
They only have to go 160 miles.
So I feel like they're gonna, the crowd's gonna be rocking like there's gonna be more signs for them.
People are gonna be out there.
That's gonna be a good one.
I'll give you that for the Eagles.
How much travel fatigue exists for 12 year olds?
When we get to the last team, you'll, you'll regret asking that question because it's big.
Definitely big.
Let me go next to South Dakota.
South Dakota never won the Little League World Series, but Sioux Falls is getting their second straight shot at it.
So it's rare to get back to back.
Sioux Falls going in for the second straight time.
So a little bit of South Dakota, by the way, when I was a little kid, I used to go to Wall Drug all the time in South Dakota.
So, shout out to Wall, South Dakota.
Nobody ever needed that.
And now, your travel question.
Ready for this one?
Summerlin South is trying to become the first team from Nevada to win the Little League World Series, but they're the third straight team from Southern Nevada to represent the mountain regions.
So that's a long fight, long fight.
Gotta go from Southern Nevada all the way to Williamsport.
Hey, get yourself a juice box and a granola bar and get out there.
Go get them, Nevada.
I don't know why you went juice box and granola bar, but like I just like, just make kids get up and stretch, walk around the flight a little bit, make sure that you keep the circulation going.
When you're older, you'll be glad that you did.
Uh, your circulation is just fine.
I mean, my my my circulation and my joint pain, now that's a different story.
But when you're, you know, hey, 11 years old, get out there, you know, go, go to your pizza party, go enjoy, go have fun, but the just the pure joy of the Little League World Series always.
Gives me what's.
