We talked to manager Danny Boehle about the road to victory and notable love the team of 12 and under players are getting.
"So, we practice five days, sometimes six days a week, two hours a day. The weather doesn't help when it's hot out and humid, but we go.""I have a motto that says, 'do what others don't today so you can accomplish what others can't tomorrow.' So if you're not practicing on your skill and getting better at it, That talent only goes as far as the next kid that is working hard to get better than you, that wasn't as talented as you at an early age.
"Watching these kids grow and become one unit after three years was very special for me and watching them embrace how the city has welcomed them to this town and put The 'Gun to back on the map," he said."So we're always doing basics early in the practice, which is just going back to what you learned," he said."We're always going back to 101 things and then we get into hitting.
Boehle said the championship run required sacrifice from everyone involved — saying coaches Tim Abrams and Eddie Lee"deserve just as much credit as this than I do."Mantle also asked about the team's hometown being so close to the many professional athletes who make the South Bay their home. "We live in a city of champions," Boehle acknowledged, saying as a longtime restaurant owner in Manhattan Beach he met a lot of top athletes in the region, many of them have sent congratulations.
"I got to know all the Lakers and all the Kings and we celebrated parades with all of them. And so it does help out and rub off."And it wasn't just El Segundo residents heaping praise on their hometown heroes. Just about every professional sports team in Los Angeles congratulated the Little Leaguers for their accomplishment.
