The World Series begins on Thursday with Petaluma playing the northeast champ from Fairfield, Connecticut. We talked with coach Eric Smith about a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
"When we start actually talking about the numbers involved it's pretty crazy. I think there are over 7,000 Little Leagues that started this whole thing and there are 16 left. I don't think about it a lot until someone says, 'You are at the Little League World Series.' I think it's that World Series term that just sort of is a shocker. You know, it's not a regional tournament. You know just the name of it alone makes it bigger," said Smith.
