CHICAGO (CBS) The Little League team that captured the hearts of a city and a nation was returning home to Chicago on Monday as U.S. champions and later this week will get a homecoming rally normally reserved for the city s professional teams like the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls or White Sox.
CBS 2鈥檚 Mike Puccinelli reports the 11-, 12-, and 13-year olds will soon be going back to school, but not before they鈥檙e welcomed home like conquering heroes. City officials have planned a parade for the Jackie Robinson West All-Stars on Wednesday, starting on the South Side, where the team plays its home games, and ending in Millennium Park. A precise parade route or time for the rally has yet to be announced. However, the city has confirmed Wednesday鈥檚 8:30 p.m. fireworks display at Navy Pier will be dedicated to Jackie Robinson West. The boys from the South Side were coming home Monday from Williamsport, Pa., after capturing the U.S. championship in the Little League World Series. On Sunday, their sixth-inning rally against South Korea fell short, as they lost 8-4 in the world championship game, but their fans said that doesn鈥檛 diminish what the team accomplished. 鈥淚 am just so excited about the boys, said Venisa Green, whose son Brandon Green drove in the go-ahead run in the U.S. championship game against Las Vegas on Saturday. They are U.S.A. champs. They have nothing to be sad about.鈥? Venisa聽told her son to hold his head up high after Sunday鈥檚 loss, despite the disappointment. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have nothing to be sad about. You did a great job,鈥?she <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Watch-Band-Replacement>Michael Kors Watch Band Replacement</a> said. Assistant coach Jason Little said the team is 鈥渟uper excited鈥?about returning home to Chicago after their three-week run in the Little League World Series. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e up early, ready to go,鈥?he <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Discount-Tory-Burch-Bags>Cheap Tory Burch Flats</a> said. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e been gone since July 31 and are ready to get back to their normal lives.鈥? Little said that while the team was in Williamsport, the boys 鈥渒new a little bit鈥?about the buzz they were generating back home, 鈥渂ut not to the extent that it really is happening there鈥?because they didn鈥檛 have TVs or Chicago newspapers to keep up with the news. After Sunday鈥檚 game, the team got a special congratulatory phone call from President Barack Obama. 鈥淗e was excited for the boys, Little said. That was actually a super surprise for the kids how proud he was of them representing America as well as Chicago and that he looked forward to great things from all of the kids.鈥? Little said he鈥檚 hoping the team gets an invitation to visit the president at the White House. 鈥淗opefully, that will happen, but who knows? Little said. He鈥檚 a busy man, so we鈥檒l see.鈥?
