What's up with the little kid on the Guam LLWS team whose favorite player is John Hattig, Jr.?

Ok, so after looking it up, I'm a little embarassed, because it turns out Hattig is from Guam, so it makes sense. On the other hand, none of the rest of the kids had any problem rooting for guys like Manny Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano like kids anywhere else in the world.
