                               RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the Park View All-Star Little League team for winning 
           the 2009 Little League World Series championship.

Whereas on August 30, 2009, the Park View All-Star Little League team, 
        affectionately known as the ``Blue Bombers'', of Chula Vista, California 
        defeated the Kuei-Shan Little League team of Chinese Taipei, by a score 
        of 6-3 to win the 2009 Little League World Series at Williamsport, 
        Pennsylvania, becoming the 2009 Little League World Series champions;
Whereas in their previous game, the Blue Bombers defeated a versatile and 
        dynamic team from San Antonio, Texas, winning 12-2 in 4 innings to 
        become the United States Little League champions;
Whereas the Park View All-Star Little League team is the first San Diego County 
        team to win a Little League World Series championship since 1961 and the 
        first team from California to win the championship since 1993;
Whereas 2009 is the fifth time a Little League World Series champion has been 
        crowned from California and the 31st time a United States team has won 
        the Little League World Series championship;
Whereas the Blue Bombers set the record for most home runs in the Little League 
        World Series, with 19 home runs overall in the tournament, besting the 
        previous record by an incredible 6 home runs;
Whereas the Park View All-Star Little League team is comprised of: Bradley 
        Roberto, Andy Rios, Markus Melin, Nick Conlin, Seth Godfrey, Bulla 
        Graft, Daniel Porras, Jr., Jensen Peterson, Kiko Garcia, Luke Ramirez, 
        Isaiah Armenta, and Oscar Castro;
Whereas the Park View All-Star Little League championship team is coached by Ric 
        Ramirez and managed by Oscar Castro;
Whereas true to the Little League pledge, the Blue Bombers played with heart, 
        dignity, and class and, in a gesture of extraordinary sportsmanship, the 
        Blue Bombers invited the Chinese Taipei team to join them on their 
        victory lap around the field at Williamsport;
Whereas while the Park View All-Star Little League team is made up of 12 all-
        stars that won the championship, the entire league is made up of more 
        than 400 players and thousands of family members of players, who are all 
        part of this success; and
Whereas the victory by the Park View All-Star Little League team has brought 
        tremendous excitement and pride to the city of Chula Vista, the county 
        of San Diego, the State of California, and the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Park View All-Star Little League team 
        from Chula Vista, California for winning the 2009 Little League 
        World Series championship; and
            (2) commends the families, coaches, volunteers, and 
        community of the team, whose untold dedication and countless 
        hours of volunteerism contributed to the team's success on and 
        off the field.
