CONGRATS TO JACKIE ROBINSON WEST

The city will celebrate JRW's amazing run with a parade Wednesday that will begin on the South Side and end in Millennium Park. The fireworks at Navy Pier that evening also will be dedicated to JRW.

JRW certainly did not come away empty-handed during its epic trip to South Williamsport, Pa. Five wins and the right to call themselves United States Little League champions are near the top of the list, as are other fantastic memories that reach beyond the players and coaches.
