LITTLE LEAGUE WS | ⚾ The boys of El Segundo: The El Segundo Little League team is set for their first-ever appearance in the World Series today. They're among the favorites to win the title. If successful, they'd be the eighth California team to win the worldwide title and the first since 2011. This is only the second time since 1995 that a Los Angeles County team has reached the LLWS. The journey has been remarkable, highlighted by their 3-1 victory over Bollinger Canyon Little League for the West Region championship. The proud SoCal boys are thrilled to represent their town of 17,000. The LLWS is a dream come true for them, and despite some nerves, they're eager to kick off the tournament, all set to start today. | 🔗 Little League World Series

In-I-Nout ← fake. Not only are the names and color schemes virtually the same, but these copycat restaurants even mirror the insides of a eatery that we all love. | 🔗 SanDiegoVille
