Japan broke the current United States streak of Championships with their victory in the Little League World Series:

It is unbelievable to think about yourself playing baseball at this age and being on a stage such as this. Watching these kids play you can say that many of these games are better than the professionals. Granted that a percentage of these kids will become professionals, at least this young they haven’t been introduced to enhancements, well you hope anyhow.

Still these kids always give their best and have so much passion for the game it is hard not to feel for them when they loose. Another great World Series Tournament has come and gone and I am sure next year will be just as good.
