To Park View Little League World Champions

Why are so many people that you don't know so excited for you? Yes, we appreciate that you made history as true "World" Champions, something even Major league Baseball, Pro Football or Basketball can't claim. You won something equivalent to the Olympics on the world stage.

But aside from that, think on these things. I'm a typical 60 yr. old grandpa who played baseball in the streets, fields and parks as soon as I could hold a ball. The Little League fields I played on in Lemon Grove are still there. I played on All-Stars just like you, coached All-Star teams like yours and experienced the thrill of advancing from Area to District and so on, like you did. The difference is you continued to win and we didn't.

One reason so many people are so happy for you is that we were able to be with you in the batters box or on the field and share the experience with you. Many people remember being a part of a team sport where so many things have to go right to make it to the top. As for me, I was able to be a part of your hit that scored a run or make the right coaching decision that may have won the game.

I hope you all take time to thank God for allowing you to be part of this incredible experience and that baseball fans everywhere could share it with you. Thanks for the memories.
