When Curacao takes center stage in Williamsport for this year's Little League World Series, you will encounter a familiar name: Profar. That would be Judrick Profar, a player for the Pabao Little League team from Willemstad, Curacao. And yes, he's related to that Profar.
In 2004, Jurickson Profar, now the starting second baseman for the Oakland Athletics, took a star turn in helping Curacao win the LLWS title alongside future big leaguer Jonathan Schoop. The Jurickson-led Pabao club returned to Williamsport in 2005 and fell in the title game to Hawaii.
