THE TEAM

They’re just your average 11-, 12- and 13-year-old boys--except the South Mission Viejo All-Stars also captured the Little League national championship. It’s no surprise they love sports--especially baseball--and action movies, such as “Men In Black.” With the exception of one team member who said the best part of school is recess, they nearly all listed math as their favorite subject. Here’s a look at the lineup, including their batting averages for the Williamsport, Pa., games.
