1987 Little League World Series

The 1987 Little League World Series took place between August 25 and August 29 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Hualien Little League from Hualien, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), defeated the United States Champion Northwood Little League of Irvine, California, in the championship game of the 41st Little League World Series.

As of the 2010 tournament, the 21 runs scored by Chinese Taipei and their winning margin of 20 runs are championship game records. In April 1997, the Chinese Taipei Baseball Association decided that its youth baseball programs would no longer affiliate with Little League. “The leagues in Chinese Taipei were unable at that time to adhere to certain Little League rules and regulations regarding residency, and the area from which a single chartered league could draw its players,” said Stephen D. Keener, president and chief executive officer of Little League Baseball.

The Northwood team went on an 18-0 undefeated streak to become the U.S. Champions.

Famous quotes containing the words league, world and/or series:

    I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    People praise virtue, but they hate it, they run away from it. It freezes you to death, and in this world you’ve got to keep your feet warm.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
