It’s fun to watch although it’s not real baseball.
It’s not real baseball. Baseball on a 50/70 field isn’t real baseball either. It’s kids playing baseball. Even kids who play 50/70 ball want to play in the LLWS. Given everyone used to play LL the LLWS is still a piece of Americana.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the LLWS popularity after two generations of a lot of kids didn’t play baseball and have the attention span of a gnat. It’s a concern of MLB. The average age of a regular MLB tv viewer is 55.

Then you may as well call Tee Ball, baseball. Regardless of dimensions, holding runners with leads while pitching from the stretch and stealing are all in real baseball. This is a different animal.
