Great job! I was extremley impressed by all the wonderful well wishes you had by people all over the U.S. Being the wife of a Baseball Coach of (15 yr. olds) I know the hard work and dedication that all you put in. The comments left about your teams' character says ALOT. Also, having Hawaiian family (via-my best friend) makes me even prouder. Ho`omaika`i! Best, Tammy Weston

I have been umpiring youth baseball for the past 18 years, From Little League to Pony to Cal Ripken. Through those years I have witnessed tremendous talent in all those leagues. But when I first got to umpire Leighton's team back 2002 when they were just 9 years old. I knew these kids were something special. The amount of talent that was concentrated in one age group is something you do not see often, plus having a coach that kids will do anything for. Understanding the achievment West Oahu has accomplished is deeper then it looks. In regards to this team, they were restricted by boundries, restricted by rules. No outside influence just pure Little League, pure Ewa Beach, A Pure World Champion!!! Me and Derwin told you, "get past the regionals the World would be yours" Congratulations

I am the President of the Village Park Community Association who donated all the banners for the Mayor's Parade. I followed the games as much as I could but watched the winning game...and was the only one in my block that was screaming when you tied the game and then won. As a parent of 4 children, 2 boys (now men) who played baseball and football and whose uncles are coaches, I was sooooo proud of our local kids who showed the world that we have class A kids who demonstrated great sportsmenship, attituded, and respect. I know you must have heard it all, but KUDOS to all who were responsible for this fine "GROUP OF YOUNG MEN". BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT NEW YEAR!!

This congratulatory message is way overdue. Boys you are an inspiration to little boys all over the world. Even in American Samoa and the Independent State of Samoa. Michael and Vonn, "Malo fai o le faiva"...please ask an elder to explain the expression to you. I am Samoan but I was born and raised in Hawaii and I cried when I saw the boys on the news after they won! Just to let the coaches and the boys know...I have read countless articles all about the big win and all the celebrations that followed. I even wrote an article for Samoa News. You guys are the best and have the title to prove it. Be good boys. Love from American Samoa.

Congratulations! You folks leave a legacy that was a dream for over 50 years in Hawaii's Little League history. Thousands, maybe millions of players, coaches, parents, and league organizers of past years have dreamed of this day. Judging from responses received, you have made an impact all over the world. Great play, great attitudes and a long and inspiring journey.

To the kids you put Ewa Beach on the map. I remember when it had only three stores. To the parents be proud of them and enjoy the moment. Layton, give my Aloha to all your Ohana and we love you guys.

Being raised in Ewa Beach on Ewa Beach Raod and playing Little League when it was played at the Beach Park and Ewa, I was very proud of not only the wins but the class you showed on the field. Believe me when you hear you had the whole state behind you because you did. I watched the games with my sons and we were all cheering for you. I saw you play last year against Kihei and told the Kihei coach next year this will be the team to beat. Again congrats and hopefully this will only be the beginning of wonderful careers not only in sports, but in all facets of all your lives.

I just want to congratulate the champs for their victory. Even though im not Hawaiian, I was rooting for them like crazy! I am from the Micronesian island of Kosrae. My sisters and I were screaming like i dont know what when they would be playing. Sometimes the neighbors would be peeking through our windows to see what was going on! It just seems that at times like this, all Islanders, no matter which island exactly they are from, come together and have pride for the champions!

Mahalo Nui Loa! My husband and I were coaching the West Oahu Yankees Jrs Division League in Ewa Beach and sat on as board members as well. We just relocated back to the mainland 4th of July. Imagine our surprise when the coaches at home called us to tell us the boys were in the mainland and playing for the World Series! We watched every game, I think the entire neighborhood heard us shouting and cheering as we watch the coaches and OUR BOYS take each and every game. Please know that we are very very proud of all of you. We miss Hawaii very much and especially the Fantastic Baseball Program that we have in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

To be called world champions is an unbelievable accomplishment and you will remember this for the rest of your lives. 50 years from now you will still be a world champion. No one will ever be able to take that away from you. Again, awesome job you deserve all the great praises.

If I could draw a sign on this, it would read "West Oahu - Little League, Big Difference". What a difference your team has made: - to the athletes and coaches in Hawaii, your determination to get your goal has inspired them; - to our youth, you've energized them to accomplish more than they thought they could ever dream of; and - to everyone in Hawaii, you've magnified the Spirit of Aloha in each one of us. We're so, so proud of you. Thanks for making that Ripple in Little League Baseball, Ewa Beach, West Oahu, Hawaii and the World!

Aloha from Myron Enos Sr. hometown, when I heard that name on the news, I said, there's only 1 Myron Enos or should I say 2 now (Sr & Jr) in the world and low and behold, its him. After seeing him wave the sign Ka'u Boy, that definetly was him, Congratulations to all of you for making "HAWAII" proud, these boys carried themselves as gentlemens. It's a wonderful feeling of victory and can't stop reading about it and to top it off, there's a Ka'u connection all the way in Ewa Beach. I'm glad that the boys families and friends were able to join them in PA though Myron quit his job(something I'm not surprised he did) it was well worth it. Thanks for all the businesses helping my classmate and childhood friend get a job. CONGRATULATIONS EWA BEACH from Naalehu, Ka'u - Big Island!!!
