That's amazing. This isn't college kids playing 5th graders. The other teams are loaded with first class, scholarship athletes.
Yet, they win 58 in a row.
I think that's even more impressive than the championship(s) itself/themselves.

Yes they didn't do it against softies. They played a tough schedule and faced some really good teams in the WCWS. And they won 'em all. I think you are right, that is more impressive.
