  "account": "Williamport, PA – Jacob Misiorowski, known as The Miz, became the center of attention during the Little League World Series on Sunday, Aug. 23, drawing large crowds wherever he went. The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander, who is favored to win the National League Cy Young Award, was met with screaming fans, autograph seekers, and selfie takers as he walked through the complex. Upon arriving in coach buses, the players dispersed to explore the grounds, including recreation buildings, arcade games, and ping pong tables. Misiorowski stopped to sign baseballs and play games of ping pong with enthusiastic young fans. He expressed his genuine nature and appreciation for connecting with people, reminding everyone of the Forrest Gump character who touched everyone he met. After a successful series win over the Atlanta Braves, Misiorowski continued to enjoy the excitement of being a minor hero for the children, despite feeling a bit shell-shocked by the overwhelming attention.",
