Taichung Little League head coach Zhang Zhennan is deeply impressed by LLB’s “selective” sportsmanship. In 1992, after Lixing Little League lost to the overage Philippines in the Far East Division, the appeal was invalid. It was only after the Philippines won the Williamsport World Championship that the United States canceled the Philippines' championship.
At that time, the Far East Region (later changed to the Asia-Pacific Region) was held in Guangzhou, China. Zhang Zhennan recalled that in the program book of the conference, the participating players all had their dates of birth, and only the Philippines had blank data. Many players had beards, and their batting strength and passing arm strength were Also like a junior high school student, his request to the General Assembly to check his passport was rejected. Although Taiwan defeated Japan and South Korea, it lost to the Philippines 5-6 and missed the chance to enter Williamsport.
The Philippines was overage and was disqualified from the championship after winning against the United States.
The Philippines defeated California 15-4 in the Williamsport championship game. Only then did LLB face up to the fact that the Philippines was overage, and it was finally verified to be true. The championship game was changed to a 6-0 decision victory for the United States and Spain, but the Philippines still retained the runner-up position. In other words, compared to Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea in the Far East, or Germany, Canada, and the Dominican Republic in the World Championship, losing was due to inferior skills. Only when the interests of Laos and the United States are ultimately involved can fairness and justice be upheld.
