An enthusiastic
crowd of parents, friends and Little League supporters were on
hand on Aug. 20 to welcome the Naamans All Stars at their home
field in Talleyville upon their return to Delaware from the
Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
The Brandywine Hundred team was the
first to represent Delaware in the youth baseball championship.
They won both the state and the Middle Atlantic region
championship but were eliminated from advancing the the national
and international finals. Nevertheless, the boys, who range in
age from 11 to just having turned 13, were hailed by public
officials and their mentors as champions.

Their names and faces
have become familiar. Friends and relatives said they were
better seen in person than on national sports television.
Their appearance there, however, sparked numerous e.mails
and autograph requests during the Middle Atlantic and
national tournaments. |
