2025 年台灣台北市東園國小以 7：0 戰勝美國， 距上次奪冠，已經 29 年了。我雖然不是特別熱衷於看棒球，但自小成長在台灣少棒極勝時期，看到台灣少棒打進外國資格賽，也特別關注他們。此次奪冠讓我特別興奮也勾起不少值得懷念的回憶。
少年棒球聯盟世界大賽創辦於1947 年，每年八月在賓州威廉波特比賽。自創辦以來，比賽制度有幾次的變更，自 2022 年起，分區預選賽改為美國本土 10 區，外國 10 區，美國本土與外國各自打出冠軍後，再互相對打出總冠軍。至 2025 年, 美國得過 40 個冠軍，僅次於美國的台灣，則得過 18 個冠軍，台灣在強勝時期，1969 到 1991年的 23 年之間，得過 15 個冠軍。
記得小時候，在與賓州時差 12 小時的台灣看比賽，總是在三更半夜。我那時年紀小，雖然看不怎麼懂棒球，但總是特別叮囑爸爸要把我叫醒看轉播，最關注的除了輸贏外，當然還有特別準備的零食。還有人說，早年不是家家都有電視，每當世界少棒轉播時，他們家客廳內及客廳外都會擠滿了鄰居的人潮來看轉播，可見那個時代大家對少棒的熱忱及關注。記得早期的啦啦隊也是別樹一幟，鑼鼓喧天，氣勢凌人。奪冠後也會聽到劈里啪啦的鞭炮聲，四處此起彼落。這是我們那個年代的共同記憶，回味無窮。
In 2025, Taipei Dong Yuan Elementary School from Taiwan defeated the United States 7–0, marking 29 years since their last championship. Although I'm not particularly keen on baseball, growing up during the golden era of Taiwanese Little League, I paid close attention to the team as they advanced through the international qualifiers. This victory was incredibly exciting and brought back many fond memories.
The Little League World Series, founded in 1947, is held annually in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, every August. Since its inception, the tournament format has undergone several changes. Starting in 2022, the qualifiers were reorganized into 10 divisions within the continental United States and 10 international divisions. Once each division crowned a champion, the U.S. and international teams would compete for the overall championship. As of 2025, the United States has won 40 championships, with Taiwan—second only to the U.S.—claiming 18. During its dominant era, Taiwan secured 15 championships over a 23-year span from 1969 to 1991.
I remember, as a kid, watching baseball games from Taiwan, which has a 12-hour time difference from Pennsylvania—always in the dead of night. I was young and didn’t understand much about baseball, but I always asked my dad to wake me up to watch the broadcasts. Beyond the game itself, I was just as excited about the snacks he had prepared. Some people recall that, since not every family owned a television back then, their living rooms and outdoor areas would fill with neighbors coming over to watch the games. It shows just how passionate people were about Little League back then. I also remember the early cheerleading squads—unique with their blaring drums and gongs, creating an impressive presence. After a championship win, the crackling of firecrackers could be heard everywhere. These are shared memories of our generation—and they’re truly unforgettable.
