• Jackie Robinson West Has Regional Championship Revoked: Awards Lost in Music, from Miley Cyus, Milli Vanilli and More

    The Little League world took a turn for the sadder yesterday when it was announced that Jackie Robinson West, a team of youth baseball players from the South Side of Chicago, would have its 2014 Great Lakes Regional title revoked.

WOW is also the title of the opera.
