Little League baseball has come a long way. Organized into
leagues and tournaments, today it's big business, a global
entity in over a hundred countries. And every year in modest
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, it all comes down to 16 teams of
kids eying the ultimate prize: the Little League World Series. The 2005 World Series featured Little League's greatest
ending on its biggest stage. Now seen in over five million
homes, the thrilling final game of the Series was the most
dramatic in the fifty-eight year history of the Little
League. With full access to the players, coaches and parents
associated with both teams who played in that game, Charles
Euchner delivers an astonishing and dramatic narrative that
delves into every aspect of the teams involved: from
training, coaching and parenting stressed out kids to
politics, controversy and the ever expanding role of
corporations. Welcome to the hype, the hope and the soul of youth baseball.
