As a baseball obsessed household, we watched as many of the games as possible between our own games, but unfortunately missed this one. Congratulations to those boys - what all-Americans they are! And my warmest admiration to their parents. Someone said above that those families sacrifice a LOT to get their sons there, and nothing could be more true. Jobs, lives, and siblings all give way to the World Series endeavor, and it is truly all-consuming. I tip my hat to all of them. Thanks for posting this, Allah - it's such great news.

Lubbock manager Ed Thorne, when asked if he was convinced that the better team lost, said, “Yes sir, I am.”

“Japan will win that ballgame,” Thorne said. “Every ball we hit went right at people. You hate to lose games like that, but that’s baseball.”

The poor Japanese players were naturally heartbroken and, instead of mere handshakes, the Georgia kids gave each of them huge hugs and held their shoulders to make sure they understood as they said "You're great baseball players!", "You deserve to be here." and so on. THAT is how the game is played. And it was GREAT. The American kids were fabulous gentlemen afterward, too.

Seems the success of the Lubbock Western All-Star team is the talk of the town. They are planning a parade when they get back! Their only loss was to GA in the U.S. final and they took third in the World today! Not too shabby :-) The final was awesome! Nice to see GA win it for the U.S. in extra innings! I felt bad for Japan, but to see everyone hugging after the game... The sportsmanship was great to see from these young men. I lived in Lubbock for eight years and still have friends there.

The US I think has won the last two or three, but the Japanese kids have won a few too. It used to be that Taiwan stomped everyone year after year, but if I remember correctly, they got booted from the league or asked to withdraw because of practices that made it unfair for all the other teams. They're back now, I think they are now playing by LL rules again. If it sounds like I know an awful lot, I live near Williamsport, where the League Series is held.
