As an avid follower of the LLWS, it pisses me off to no end that there has never been any mention of the 1959 LLWS Champions from Hamtramck, Michigan and their pitcher, Art "Pinky" Deras.

In that little league season, Pinky never lost a game. During the actual tournament from the local level to the championship game, Pinky started 18 games, threw 16 shutouts, 10 no-hitters with 5 of them being back to back. He pitched in 108 innings, recorded 298 strike outs against only 10 walks.

As a batter, he hit .641 with 33 home runs and 112 RBI's......

I love following LLWS as well. I will never forget the fawning over Danny Almonte by the liberal MSM...
