The Little League World Series may not bring the same types of ratings as its Major League counterpart<\/a>, but for many kids, it is a vital part of their growth into professional baseball players. Plus for fans, it is their introduction to the next generation of baseball talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's been going on since 1947, and has hosted some of the greatest players<\/a> in baseball history before we knew who they were, but which states have fared best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International champions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before stepping into the American champions, we cannot ignore the globalization of baseball, and as such, there have been several international champions throughout the run of the LLWS. Japan, the largest baseball nation<\/a> overseas, has dominated the World Series since 2010, winning five during that span and 11 overall, including in 2018.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan, however, does not have the record. That would go to Taiwan, who won the Little League World Series 17 times from 1969 to 1991, although they have not been able to repeat this success since then. Other countries, such as Mexico, South Korea, and Venezuela have all won multiple times in their history, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stateside, however, the champions vary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Texas, 2 wins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of all the states that boast multiple wins at the Little League World Series, Texas is the only one who has won it two times. Although Texas is the land of Friday Night Lights, baseball has been a part of its culture<\/a> since baseball moved west. Evident by the fact both of Texas's MLB teams have large fan bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One might be surprised, then, that they only have two world series. However, with a tournament that spans across the globe, there is lots of talent to work against.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. New York, Hawaii, Georgia, 3 wins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
