Considering there are more than 6,000 Little Leagues through the United States, the odds of any one reaching the promised land in Williamsport are astronomical.
But as Fairfield American showed last year, it is not impossible for a team from Connecticut to get there. The boys from Fairfield became the 17th squad from the state to reach the Little League World Series.
The summer-long process begins anew on Tuesday with the start of the District One tournament which involves 14 Little League All-Star teams divided into two groups of seven.
Group A includes National Lione (Stamford), North Stamford, Northrop (Stamford) , Redding, Ridgefield American, Springdale (Stamford) and Stamford American. Group B includes Darien American and National, Federal (Stamford), Norwalk, Ridgefield National, Weston and Wilton.
After round robin play within in each group, the two top finishers in each pool advance to a playoff tournament.
The eventual winner qualifies for the section one tournament, to be hosted by Orange of District Four, from July 20-27. The two sectional winners clash in a best-of-three series to determine the state champion.
The Connecticut state winner advances to the New England Regionals in Bristol from Aug. 4-14. The eight regional winners from around the country qualify for the Little World Series, to be played from Aug. 18-28 in Williamsport.
The District One tournament begins with the opening ceremonies during which the the 1951 Stamford American Little League World Series champions will be honored on the 60th anniversary of their victory. The opening game of pool play between Springdale and defending champion Stanford American will follow.
