Tigers are 1 for 2005

Well, the Tigers played their last two little league games tonight in the league round robin championship game. With only three teams in the league, it turned out that the winner of tonight's early game would play for the championship. And sure enough, after a long season of disappointment, they pulled out a 6-4 victory. It was great to see the parents and the kids-it was as if they had just won the World Series. I let the head coach go out of the dugout and take the accolades from parents who were thrilled that their kid did not go 0 for 2005. I had it in the back of my head that we were about to take a serious spanking in the championship game, and we did. But it was wonderful for the kids-they won the most important game of the year, the one that allowed them to be the second place team in the league, despite laying an egg in the regular season. To quote Major League (roughly), I think there's 2 or 3 All Stars there. Congrats kids, and practice for next year.
