Or five, as the case may be:

More than 20 Iraqi youth, dressed in complete baseball uniforms, made history when they played in the five-inning baseball game. Because there are no previous records of an official baseball game played during or after Saddam Hussein's regime, the Altun Kupri youth played the country's first one in decades.

"Outlaw" Soldiers of Company C, Task Force 2-11 Field Artillery put the game together for the Iraqi youth. All of the coaches and umpires were Outlaws or their interpreters who helped guide the youth in the game.

...One thing that the Outlaws stressed in the scrimmages was to persevere with teamwork.

"We always talked to them about never giving up and working together as a team" Haught said. "The team that actually won the [official] game never won a scrimmage game. We played about 20 scrimmage games and always talked to them about not quitting. Then sure enough they win."

John Kerry will regret betting against the Iraqi people. (Story via the Corner.)
