Glory Days: Bayonne looks to make more history in Little League World Series opener

You hear it. Fans, family, friends of the Bayonne Little League team are boarding buses and hitting the road to Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the Little League World Series. Yes! News 12's Tony Caputo is right there along with them. Tony, how exciting and so cool for everybody! This is amazing what's happening out here, Della, right now. Matt Gill is with me, the vice president of Bayonne Little League. Matt, look, you got four buses here ready to go to Williamsport. Four buses of excited Bayonne fans. We can't wait to get on the road and support our team. I love this. Are we there yet? Tours is taking you out and you got a bunch of boxes. What's up with that? So, a big tradition in Williamsport Little League World Series is that there's a tremendous hill right out in center field. All the kids get to slide down the hill. We're coming with these. These are called Joe's Sleds. Joe Spangler, one of our longtime volunteers, he's the one who crushes up all our boxes. He's our recycling guy. He's donating his recycling box. So, these are called Joe's Sleds for this weekend. That is fantastic. The kids are going to love this. Look at all the people waiting to board these buses as well. Matt, I'm going to have you take me on the bus. This is one of the buses that will take the folks out there. Rudy, when you can, come on back across. Rudy, let's let you go up first for safety reasons. You know, we want to get them up those stairs safely and let's take a look here, Matt. This has got a lot of room in here. How many people will be on each bus as we go? We got about 50 on each bus today. Four buses total. Everybody say hi to News 12. I hope nobody called out sick today because if you did, you're in a lot of trouble. Matt, this is great stuff, man. You can't beat this. Let's see if we get Rudy back down the steps. There we go. This is a super exciting time. You know, this is for the players, for the coaches. This is their time to shine and we're there to support them. We want to make sure that they know that Bayonne is behind them and there's nothing we won't do to support them. It's amazing what you have done. We appreciate it. Go get them, baby. Go get them. Yeah, Bayonne Little League. First game tonight, 7 p.m. First pitch. Going to be a lot of fun. Very exciting. Remember, it's double elimination, so they're not going to lose tonight, but even if they did lose tonight, they're still going to keep playing, try and bring home that Little League championship trophy. That's the latest from Bayonne. I'm Tony Caputo for News 12.
