Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for the Cubs, but Little League is so much more exciting than professional baseball nowadays. I feel like pro baseball players are just, well, too good for their own good. It seems like the vast majority of games it's either a strike out, a single or a home run. They're just too good at what they do and it's really dull. Little League is so much more action packed, plus it's all about the passion and love of the game rather than just a really well paying job. that's just my opinion though, I just prefer my baseball players to be a bit less than totally pro and almost perfect players, it's so much more exciting (to me at least) when they players are good, but not great.
