It was a wonderful game and these kids fought hard to win, but sadly, someone's gotta win, and someone's got to lose.

I thought the coach was absolutely wonderful, such a wise, caring man.

Those boys were lucky to have him for a coach. Even with losing, they'll have such great memories.

Nice speech. He left them with some wonderful memories that will last long after the Little League World Series is over.

I've watched this particular coach during the series and he is one heck of a good man. I was impressed with him from the very first time I saw him. His final speech to his team had me in tears.

I saw it already. If only they could all be like him. He epitomizes the ideal LL coach. Most of them, in my experience, are in it for their own child who is on the team.
