Revenge of the Baseball Gods "'Outside the Lines' revisits the battle between Danny Almonte and Matt Cerda in the 2001 Little League World Series.
Two airplanes destroyed the Twin Towers, and two boys went back to the rest of their lives.
Nineteen days before, these boys had played a crisp Little League World Series ballgame, a ballgame that would make one of them an icon and one of them weep."
I thought this was a very well written piece, and an excellent story. Imagine the possibility of Cerda actually catching Almonte- what a twist of fate that would be!
