F.U.T.O.

Via Offwing Opinion, here's a brilliant idea to "help out" T.O. in his quest for less hunger for his family.

Johnny Bench

Every LLWS team has to have a weird kid. The last player to introduce himself on the Mexican team lists as his favorite player Johnny Bench. Johnny Bench! Awesome! You've got to like kids whose favorite players retired before they were even born.

John Hattig has fans!

What's up with the little kid on the Guam LLWS team whose favorite player is John Hattig, Jr.? Ok, so after looking it up, I'm a little embarassed, because it turns out Hattig is from Guam, so it makes sense. On the other hand, none of the rest of the kids had any problem rooting for guys like Manny Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano like kids anywhere else in the world.
