I agree. I think it is great.I have always been a big baseball guy. I think anything that can bring more interest to the sport these days is a positive.
I just saw on Numbers Never Lie that more people (like 34000) attended the LLWS game last night than the Marlins and Rays games combined. This story has attracted many people. I just don't see the downside
I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of putting 12/13 yo under the spotlight of national TV but for many of them this is the thrill of a lifetime.
But like Amy I rarely watch much of the LLWS myself and this year has been no except. I maybe have caught about 4 or 5 innings here or there and none of Davis pitching though I do try to check in in the championship game every year and tend to watch unless it gets lopsided.
