Interesting sports history from Smithsonian Magazine: In 1957 in front of 10,000 cheering spectators in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, a group of mostly poor kids from Monterrey, Mexico become the first foriegn team to win the Little League World Series. Not expecting to progress far in the tournament, the team often only had enough money for two meals a day and even dealt with expired visas. They eventually defeated the team from La Mesa, California in a win which remains the only perfect game in a Little League World Series championship game-a feat that stands to this day. Their victory lap included a stop at the White House where they met then-President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon.
