“The Little League World Series: A Reminder of What We Lost”

On this episode of the Fourteen Twenty Sports Bar Podcast, Brent Radlinsky pours a cold one and gets nostalgic about the magic of the Little League World Series—where the real MVPs might just be the parents in the stands. From Canada clinging to a nail-biter against South Korea (despite walking 11 batters!) to the pure joy of kids and communities coming together, Brent Radlinsky delivers hilarious takes on "Week 0" in college football, rants about travel sports madness, and laments the fading sense of community in youth sports. There’s praise for ESPN’s coverage, questions about hyper-competitive youth leagues, and a quick story about Dolly Parton lighting up a ski hill. If you crave relatable, down-to-earth banter about what makes sports joyful—and a refreshing reminder it’s still supposed to be fun—this is your episode. Grab a drink, keep it real, and remember: it’s all about who you’re with.
