08/15/2022 - Jim's (SECLMW) unofficial American Legion World Series notes

Unofficial, Uneditted and replete with errors of commission and omission

also posted at: http://baseballlmw.blogspot.com/

and http://albdistrict2mi.blogspot.com/ (American Legion baseball emphasis)

If I had a choice I'd prefer the "double elimination" format, even if that meant no TV coverage. Double elimination eliminates the necessity for "tie breakers" and lets the decision be made on the field and every game counts.

ATTENTION - High school notes are often MY BEST GUESS from google and such so DO NOT TAKE THEM as "gospel"!
