Still, Matteau’s appearance in the 1982 LLWS is a mere footnote compared to his key role in helping the Rangers win the 1994 Stanley Cup. Cartnick proved Grano right on so many occasions during a memorable 2017 run to the LLWS. Varitek is one of two people in the history of the sport to play in the Little League World Series championship, the College World Series title game and the actual World Series. Terry Francona has a unique honor of his own.

My mother was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. Cartnick was an extremely clutch hitter for Holbrook's run to the Little League World Series. Lovelace was a left-hander who couldn’t find the strike zone, though he persevered as much as he could. Cartnick is now a sophomore on the Jackson Memorial baseball team. Like Gooden, Lovelace was a power pitcher and first-round pick, but that’s where the similarities end. Pennington was part of the Hamilton, Ohio, little league squad that made it to the quarterfinals of the 1991 LLWS. Speed and versatility. Finish: Lost 11-1 to Pintung, Taiwan, in final. Reliable left-handers out of the bullpen are prized commodities.

He recorded a strikeout for the final out of the game. Lost 8-4 to TCU in second round in 2015. Although he had a string of superb seasons for the Browns in the late '70s and early '80s, Sipe and the Browns made the NFL playoffs only once during his career.
