I appreciate everything...the many weeks you took off of work...the patience you have shown...the time away from your families...the coaching wisdom that you shared with the boys...the discipline you instilled...the dream that you shared with them...the faith you had in them...and the fact that you were awesome role models for these boys all along the way. Thank you for every sacrifice you made!!! You made us very proud!!! Our family will never forget you!!! | |

From the final games of the Regional Tournament to the final out against Japan, we watched with pride and pure joy as you showed the nation and the world how to win with courage, grace, character, and skill! We have roots in Columbus, having been raised there and we still have family and friends there. Tony Pierce is my brother and Little Tony is my nephew. What a thrill to hear Kyle and J.T. name Tony Pierce, Jr. as their favorite player! And seeing Tony and Root at the LLWS games was a thrill for me, too. We had all our friends here in Kentucky pulling for you and they congratulate you, as well. God bless you and your families! | |

| I have to say you guys did a fabulous job, what a feeling it has to be. But hats off, to JT Phillips. I think he was personally one of the best pitchers on the team besides kyle carter which dont get me wrong, he is one of the best but with JT's size he is really dominant and he had a great outing against beaverton and so he did a great job performing | |
| PAPA Becker Sandy, Brandon (Oceanside california) | Posted 09/01/2006 @ 00:08:37 |

| Jordan (Toronto, Canada) | Posted 08/31/2006 @ 22:02:00 |
| Congrats to you guys, You really deserved this and being the best LL team in the world, what a feeling!? Also a good well deserved job to Kyle Carter and his 2 Homers and 6 RBI to go on with his 4-0 Record. You'll Go Far Buddy. Josh Lester. great job knocking in all those runs. Cody Walker had an amazing shot with the 2 run homer. good job. JT Phillips, i have to say you did really well against Beaverton and it was a well deserved win. But they couldnt have done it without everyone else. Good Job Northern. Even though i am canadian. i give much respect to you guys way more than canadian teams in my league, where we have to face people who are #3 in canada, but i play AAA which is higher than LL and more challenging but you guys are one tough team to beat. Keep on Rolling Jordan | |

| Pop Quiz: It's the last inning, 1 out, tying run on 2nd, winning run on 1st. Baserunners and everyone in their dugout are crying. What do you do? A) Get too emotional with them and loose focus B) Give up a big hit to tie or loose the game C) Stay focused, rely on your talent and training, and win the biggest game of your life! Northern chose C, accepted the win with grace, then displayed class and empathy with Japan. Northern, thanks for keeping the title on US soil ( actually it's Georgia Red Clay ) | |

| My first taste of Northern LL baseball came during the 2006 Jack Cook Tourney in Columbus…I went to the tourney to cheer for Peach LL’s coach pitch and A-league champions…after a tough loss to the Sally league in coach pitch I decided to venture off to the A-league field to catch the tail end of the Peach LL A-league game…when I arrived the game was over, another tough loss to Chattahoochee County…I asked a fan in the stands who played next? The answer, the Pirates of Northern LL…I immediately sensed a “buzz” in the air…before too long the “chatter” was about Kyle, JT, and Josh…yes, these three were on a regular season team together!…of course they won easily…Kyle led off with a HR and pitched that night…I knew that I witnessed something very special that evening…on my way home I called three of the biggest youth sports fans I knew in Charlotte and tried to explain to them what I just saw…the rest is history! Thanks again for the memories! | |

| We originally posted a comment on your website on Tues. 8/29 @ 8:34 a.m., but felt impelled to post another one today. We want to apologize for not being able to attend the welcome home celebration in your honor last night. We recorded it during the WTVM news broadcast and watched it after we returned home from church. Just know that even though we couldn't be there, our thoughts and prayers were and are with each of you and your families. We hope that last nights festivities have proved to each of you how much you are loved and admired. You are our HOME TOWN HEROES!!! Again, welcome home, be safe, and hopefully you'll be able to get back in the swing of an every day "normal" life. We hope to see you all around town sometime. Take Care, The George Family | |

| Came across this, this morning and I think it is appropriate for this team.......... "Do not envy the one you admire most, instead, try to make yourself one that can be envied" (Brodie Croyle's caption on MySpace) I think all of you are the envy of the Nation....not only for winning, but how you won.....with true Southern grace and dignity. Welcome Home!!!!!! | |

| Congratulations on your LIttle League World Series title. Every one of you played very well, and have inspired us here in Corning. We are a very small town of about 3500 and do not have much chance of making it, so watching someone from fairly close to us win it was great. I would like to speak with some of you through email, coaches and players, if you would like to contact me. My email is roarkja@allegiance.tv. Look forward to hearing from some of you so you can tell me more about your experiences in the LLWS. GOOD JOB COLUMBUS!!! | |

| I have played baseball all my life including little league,jr. high,highschool,college,pro,semipro,and even in the college world series,but I will have to tell all that I have never been more excited than watching the Columbus team win the whole thing.I followed them starting in the state tourn. thru the web sites and on t.v. not missing an inning, on thru the LLWS and felt from the start this team was special along with the coach's. The Columbus teams respect for the game and respect for the other teams was second to none. This was by far better than any college football championship or world series I have ever witnessed. I was swallowed up in the action as much as any none particapant could be. In the end I found myself with a tear just like players. The teams effect on me will be everlasting. I AM BASEBALL.......SMILE | |

| Meagan Johnson (Columbus, GA.) | Posted 08/30/2006 @ 21:34:22 |
| Hey guys! So how about those corvettes today?! I bet that was fun. I've never seen Columbus so excited until now. You guys have put us on the map for a loooong time. I love baseball, and I absolutely loved watching you guys play it. I was a little nervous when it came time to play Japan, because I've heard that they are really disciplined in everything they do, but ya'll came through on that too. Congratulations. All of you did an exceptional job. I have to say my favorite player, though, is Mr. Josh Lester. Always smiling and dedicated to his game. It definitely puts a smile on my face. Again, congratulations on your win. You make me proud to say I live in Columbus, GA. Keep it up, never lose the passion to play, it can take you far. Your fan, Meagan | |

What a thrill it was to watch the game we all love, be taken to the peak by young men we know. Carter was awsome and untouchable, and Lester, whom my dada played college ball with his father was truly the offensive M.V.P. Way to go!!! | |

You are all great baseball players and I hope you keep on playing. I agree with Austin from Tennessee who commented earlier, Kyle Carter you are a great pitcher. You have a lot of talent. Cody, great homer! That was awesome. And to the rest of the guys, you were all great. Great job!! I played five years of baseball and my team never made it to the regions. It must have been a real experience that you will remember for the rest of your lives. Enjoy being the 2006 Champs and good luck with everything. Ashley #3, Hampshire Co. Little League 1996-2001 | |

| Chuck A (Championship City) | Posted 08/30/2006 @ 10:20:37 |
| CHAMPS, You have gotten a lot of attention, and deservedly so. You have earned really this. However, one of the greatest things I have heard about is something that didn't happen on the field and didn't get a lot of attention by the media. I heard about it shortly after it happened and it was later relayed in a news article. There was a wheel chair bound young man in the stands that had watched and befriended the Southeast team. Kyle C. went into the stands, representing the TEAM, and presented an autographed ball to this boy and took time to take a picture with him. This ranks as one of the greatest moments of the week. There is no telling what affect that will have on this young man, but for me it is just one of the many reasons I am proud of each and every member of the WORLD CHAMPIONS ! That act of kindness and the sportsmanship you all displayed is a testament to the parents and coaches. | |

| Congrats Northern on your win! It is something special when good players can meet together on a team and make something like this happen. Northern has always had great players on and off the all-star teams. I can remember watching Grey B., Zurrell E. and Nick M. the past couple of years and thinkning to myself that this league has so many great players. I wish they all could shine like our World Champs are now. Continue to watch the Northern league. You will see more great players to come. Continue to put a lot of effort into our youth. They are our future. | |

| WAY TO GO CHAMPS!!!!! May God always be in your hearts and in your actions, everyone in the USA is so proud of you…The Japan team was a tough team and each of you did such a wonderful job during the whole series. I just want to commend the player’s parents for all the support they have given such an AWESOME team, as a team mother I know only to well the sacrifices you endure. As far as the boys - I was especially touched after the final game when Kyle Carter said "Come on we need to go shake their hands" That for me was mostly likely the most memorial moment of the whole series...Not only Kyle but each of those "young men" are not only talented but have HEARTS worthy of World Champions. I pray that each of them go as far as they can and remember to stay just as grounded as they are right now. I know a few family members of this team and they have taught the boys well. Parents “Y’ALL HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB RASING SOME WONDERFUL HUMAN BEINGS. | |

It's awesome to see how many people you've touched. I appreciated Ryan Lang giving praise to God for this accomplishment. The hymn goes, "To God be the glory, great things He has done." And He has done GREAT things in your lives. I pray you will honor Him as you begin this time of celebration and throughout the rest of your life. You were challenged to give your very best, and you did. The reward is a World Championship. Say that one more time slowly - A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Enjoy it! Share it! We'll never forget it! | |

| It was great to watch you boy's play the way you did. I have been a coach in Powder Springs Youth Baseball for 21 years, it was great the way your coach told you boy's how proud he was of which of you and that he loved you guys. All of you made every parent,coach or anyone that loves the game of baseball proud.Good Luck in the furture to each of you. | |
| Casey & Carl Knapp (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/30/2006 @ 00:29:49 |
| Watched you guys from the beginning. I knew from the regional games you guys could take the game to a different level. Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game. I feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they think of when they think of their childhood. I think it stirs up an incredible emotion within people. Baseball was made for kids, and they play it the best as shown to me this summer through the NLL team. Thanks for bringing back the memories of the good ole' times. I hope you will appreciate every one of the memories you have created for yourselves and everyone cheering you on the way to your victory! -YOU PROVED DREAMS DO COME TRUE- | |

| stacy wilson (cols - NORTHERN LL) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 23:16:51 |
| I rushed home from work Monday to watch the game, and Rock103 played a tribute that brought tears to my eyes. 'WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS' played as we heard the players tell how happy they were to be the US CHAMPS. 'HOME SWEET HOME' played as we heard how much they wanted to bring the World Series Championship home. The words to this song starts with 'YOU KNOW I'M A DREAMER, BUT MY HEARTS OF GOLD...' ~ at the time I didn't realize how perfect that verse was for you guys. 2 hours later my whole house was screaming as your dream came true!! And then....we saw those hearts of gold reach out to Japan with a love and respect that melted a nation of viewers. HAHA ~ I can still see most of you playing 'wall ball' at the field! Time flies! Thanks for being the champions, and for being a dreamer with a heart of gold. Thanks for bringing the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP to our HOME SWEET HOME. You are hero's to us all. C U WEDNESDAY NIGHT!! ~stacy wilson~ brandon & nathan's mom | |

| Karl Chiang,MD (Greenville, North Carolina) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 17:51:12 |
| I knew that you would win it all when I saw your first game in Gulfport(first 3 consecutive homers). I am glad you didn't get a chance to beat us, but you represented the strongest region with pride and finese. I am so amazed at the team which had it all - superb pitching and clutch/power hitting. Wow! You did what we couldn't do and I am so happy for you! Unfortunately, my father(who lived in GA) and was pulling for you, died right after the game was postponed Sunday and didn't get to cheer you on Monday afternoon. He would have been so proud of y'all! Enjoy and cherish the memories forever players and parents! Congratulations from all the Greenville Tar Heel Team! | |

| Tony Wooten (Douglasville,Ga) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 16:25:04 |
| As a former Little League coach out of District 2 I am very proud of the great job you boy's have done. You showed true sportsmanship throughout the whole series. Asking Japan to take a lap with you guys was very noble of you to do. Now that is what Little League baseball is all about. My 13 yr. old is now asking us to move to Columbus so that he can play baseball with you guys next spring. I remember traveling with him when he made the all star team. The tears you all shed yesterday made me weepy too. I was so excited to see a Ga team once again represent the SE in Williamsport. It has been 23 yr's now. The only 2 times a Ga team has made it to Williamsport they have won the World series championship each time. I am also ecstatic that Kyle broke a little league world series record for 4 wins. You all did so well, and I only wish we could be there tomorrow to meet you all. Wooten0777@bellsouth.net Thanks on a job well done! | |
| Nathan Hannan (Columbus, GA) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 16:23:25 |

| jennifer dickson (Harris County) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 16:19:41 |
| How proud we are of each of you. Yes, the WIN was AWESOME, but the biggest WIN of all was the CLASS each of you showed throughout the series. You demostrated the true meaning of winning. Each of you being so blessed by God with your talent, yet keeping the gifts He has so given in balance with your demostration of sportsmanship and humility makes you even BIGGER WINNERS. The stories of reaching out to others and including them with you along this journey! WOW, what a blessing you have given to others & in return you too were blessed. I believe the young men of Japan would agree, they may have lost in that game, but in the game of life they won friendships and experienced Americans at their best. May each of you always bring glory to the ONE above whom has given you your gifts/talents. May God continue to keep you, bless you, and use you in a mighty way!! You made me so proud to be from GA and even prouder to be an American. To true champions on & off the field! | |

Only then you'll be wearing tomahawks on your chest and the letter A on your hat!!! Randy and Richard, you took a bunch of very talented kids and coached them till they were the best in the world!! Hats off to you guys!! | |
| David (Columbus) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 15:47:35 |
| Their is a great picture of Brady and Cody in this weeks Sports Illustrated that will be on the stands in the morning. Great job Randy and Richard, no one can thank you enough for your commitment to the young men that can proudly call themselves Little League World Series Champions. The way you represented the true spirit of the sport is a great example for coaches and fans to follow. Beating the International Champions may have brought home the Championship. But the way all of you handled yourselves on and off the field is what defined all of you as Champions. You may never know what impact you've had on everyone that watched you on your journey. But one thing you will always know that we are all Very Proud of You. Welcome Home Champs!!!!! | |

| BIG FAN (Atlanta) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 11:51:49 |
| After watching my 11 yr old son, who plays in Pony/Dizzy Dean, win a Major League Championship with an 0.62 era, and pitch a 1 hitter in District, I thought we were finished with youth baseball for the summer. Then I tuned into watch Northern. I dont remember which game it was but I saw Kyle punchout a batter with 3 consecutive 81 MPH pitches. I WAS HOOKED. To me, watching Kyle pitch is like a work of art. He rarely uses the same sequence of pitches ( credit whoever calls the pitch ). Whether he puts the fastball on their hands inside, nails the outside corner, or puts it high in the zone, they cant hit it. Even more impressive is when he follows 1 of those pitches, with the EXACT SAME ARM MOTION, with a change up that just keeps sinking, I almost feel sorry for the batter. Almost. This team shows YEARS of being coached up so they execute on auto pilot. That enables them to win the mental part of the game. Superior team, Superior Coaching = World Champs. Thanks again for the ride! | |

I was very excited about Cody Walker's 2-run homerun...OUTSTANDING JOB CODY!! Could not have done this without the GREAT pitching of the "WORLD" famous Kyle Carter!! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see ALL OF YOU in the major leagues!! | |

Add in the media, thousands of people watching in person and you really must tip your cap to these special 12 and 13 year olds. The sportsmanship shown was equal to the play on the field. You not only did your organization, state, and Little League Baseball proud. You did our country proud. Congratulations & Best of Luck to All in the Future! | |

| Randy, if anybody deserves it, you do!! You and Richard did a tremendous job not only coaching these kids, but setting the example of what a class act looks like. I have one question though...Why couldn't Kyle be a couple of years older?!!! We almost made it!! Kyle, your talent is ridiculously incredible! But what really set you apart from the field is the way you showed leadership and character on the world stage!! Richard, I know you are extremely proud as a father. To the entire Northern team - you have made Columbus extremely proud!! Great job World Champs!! | |
| Stephen Brown (Kennesaw GA) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 09:52:01 |
| Guys, congratulations! You played the entire tournament with class and represented Columbus GA in a very distinguished manner. It was truly a team effort. To beat the likes of a Japan says a lot about your talent, coaching, little league organization, and fan support. As a 32 year resident, I'm proud to say that I lived there, and I know the countless hours of practice and preparation paid off. Josh, I know your grandpa (Big Jim Norsworthy) is smiling in heaven and can't wait to give you a big hug one day. He was a great athlete in his day and I definitely know where you get some of your skills from. Enjoy yourselves, cherish the moment, and celebrate for the championship is well deserved.

| My congratulations to one and all, from the players to the coaches. You played some of the best baseball I have seen. Your attitude and sportsmanship throughout the pool play and championship series was above reproach. Inviting the Beaverton and Japan teams to take that victory lap with you was something special. It was even a greater thrill for me in that I coached one of the players dad's in lettle league many years ago. That dad was Tim Hollis father of Matthew Hollis. It was a joy to see the level of play passed down from Dad to son. All of the players were well coached and that is a tribute to coach Carter and Manager Randy Morris. You guys deserve the World Championship. My hats are also off to the parents as they are the behind scene volunteers that make this happen. Thanks to ALL parents for supporting the boys, coaches for volunteering their time, and the boys for listening and learning, and most of all for making COLUMBUS Proud!!!! GREAT JOB TO ALL!!!! | |
| Jason D (Clinton,MS) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 09:25:34 |

| Nice work guys! You have proven that you can achieve anything, especially by beating a team, that was seemingly unbeatable. A great feat that will not go unrecognized. You will be forever known for your accomplishments yesterday, and you deserve it. A great effort by everyone on the team to pull through, and win the World Champions. I cannot think of anyone else who deserves it more than you guys do. Kyle Carter - Josh Lester - Matthew Hollis - Matthew Kuhlenberg - Brady Hamilton - Ryan Lang - Mason Meyers - J.T. Phillips - Kyle Rovig - Patrick Stallings - and of course, Cody Walker, an excellent performance by all to beat Kawaguchi City, Japan. | |

| Kevin and Nolan Toovey (Granville, IL) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 00:35:55 |
| My son Nolan and I attended our first LLWS this year and and what a great experience it was for us as spectators. We were fortunate enough to have the Illinois State Champions from Lemont advance so it was an extra treat to be able to cheer for our home state. It was also very enjoyable to be able to talk to some of the players throughout the week, even for just a short 3 to 4 minute chat. I had such a moment when I was waiting in line for a line-up card and Ryan Lang walked up. We had just a brief conversation about the Tuesday nite game forthcoming against Illinois. I wished him luck and told him that his team looked very good together both during infield and how they played the game. I also listened to him as he spoke to a little league employee about a possible pin trade. Ryan was extremely polite and respectful. If he is any indicator to the make-up of the rest of the team, well congratulations to all the parents and coaches for a job well done. AND CONGRATS TO THE PLAYERS | |
| the Riddle family (Cartersville, GA) | Posted 08/29/2006 @ 00:26:32 |

The sportsmanship that you exhibited throughout the tournament was remarkable. In a household consisting of an umpire and a couple of former Little Leaguers, these games have been the highlight of our afternoons and evenings. These are the games that matter. We wish you the very best! Special shout-out to Shady Brady, you were hilarious. And for that matter thank you guys for reminding all of the people watching what it means to be on a team having fun. Congratulations again!!! | |

But they too are winners because of how far they came in the game. Thank you all for being so kind to them and showing how great they were also. Your parents and coaches are so proud of you as we all are. | |
| Kelly (Columbus) | Posted 08/28/2006 @ 23:32:38 |
| We are so proud of all of you. The whole team worked so hard to become Little League World Champions! As proud as I am of the players, I am equally if not more proud of the coaches and manager. Randy and the other coaches displayed great control, compassion, and heart throughout the tournament. There were so many times that the coaches on the other teams acted out in a way that was so unbecoming. You always displayed a great attitude and didn't blame others for your shortcomings. I am proud to say that you all are from Columbus. Mom's and Dad's of the players...Congratulations! Your boys are champions on and off the field. Their attitudes and behavior in front of the world was fantastic and true of southern gentlemen. | |

| one thing guys: YALL ARE OFFiCiALLY THE BEST LiTTLE LEAGUE TEAM iN THE WORLD!!!!! yall played so amazing. yall are heroes, not because yall went all the way and because youre the best ll team in the world; but becasue yall did it with grace and class and were humble about it the whole time. just seeing the crushed faces of those Japenese boys was heart breaking, but KC you were great and you went over and hugged them all. that makes you a hero. all of yall are heroes to everyone in america that has ever watched a baseball game. yall have definately captured the hearts of everyone watching. yall played your hearts out, and got what you went up there to get. your dreams have come true, and i doubt that there could be anyone in the world happier than yall right now or that anything could change that for a while. yall have memroies that will never escape your minds and that you will cherish forever. yall have made more tears fall than you would belive. we love you guys and are so proud. | |

Every one of you guys should feel really proud. You have learned lessons this year that will never be forgotten. You displayed great class and sportsmanship and the city of Columbus is proud to have you as CHAMPIONS! Josh's nickname really needs to change from Hoover to Mr. Clutch. GREAT JOB GUYS!

| I just watched the championship game and I wanted to let you all know how impressed I was by your team. The win was great, but their attitude and compassion toward the losing team was very impressive. They celebrated their win for a few moments and then immediately went to the other team to shake hands. They didn't just shake their hands though, they patted them on the back, gave hugs and offered encouraging words to the losing pitcher. The parents of these fine young men should be very proud of the kind of kids they are raising. I only hope my two young boys behave in the same kind and caring manner as your players. Congrats on being world champs and on being world class people!! | |

| I just wanted to let you know how proud of all of you I am, as a mother of ball players. We had the privilege of watching your team warm up to play in the district 8 tournament, as we played in a b-ball tournament at Northern. You had atleast 2 people on the other side of the fence to catch your *warm up* balls. I have been glued to the tv each and every game you have played in since you left Columbus. All of you should hold your head high and be proud of not only the players you have become but the fine young men you have demonstrated throughout this series. Way to go to the coaches for teaching these boys not only how to play the game but the compassion for the other teams who didn't win. Congratulations on being USA Champs!!! | |
| Aaron D (Columbus, Georgia) | Posted 08/28/2006 @ 15:41:35 |

| I am so proud of all you! I hope to see you win it all tonight, but whether you win this game tonight or not, you all walk away winners. You have accomplished so much as a team. Your sportsmanship on the field is something to be proud of. You took time to think of the Oregon team the other night and invited them to run around the field with you. That was truly awesome. I have really gotten a kick out of watching an old high school classmate's (Beth Norsworthy) son, Josh Lester. What talent and ability you all have as a team. I know your families are so proud of you. What a great lifetime memory for you all! My husband, John Cooksey, and I are former Northern Little Leaguers. That was one of the greatest times in our lives! Congratulations and the best of luck tonight. I will be speeding home from work to watch you and cheer you on along with the rest of my family. | |

| Hey all! There is an email going around Aflac about a celebration for the boys. It says: There will be a city wide celebration on wednesday, at 6pm at the Civic Center. As it stands right now... The team will travel down Veterans Parkway- beginning at 5:30 from Williams Rd (by the welcome Center) down to the Civic Center. We are hopeful people will turn out to line the road and wave to the team welcoming them home. The team will be honored & recognized by a variety of public & city leaders then will be able to sign autographs. Everyone is invited to attend the ceremony at the Civic Center. Brenda Reis & Richard Carter - both affiliated with Aflac - have children on the team. | |

Three years later, I was part of making Northern Little League (Senior League) State Champions!!!

So in some small way,I can relate to the fun,excitement, elation, etc. that you all are feeling! I hope and pray that you bring it all home tonight! Play hard, play smart! You've got ALOT of people REALLY pulling for you!....and Beth Norhsworthy (Lester)...if you're reading this, we love ya'll and are very proud of everything Josh has done! Good Luck!
