John "Jack" Losch (August 13, 1934 – May 27, 2004) was a member of the first Little League World Series (LLWS) championship team.

He was the center fielder for Williamsport, Pennsylvania's Maynard Midgets when they clinched the first LLWS title against Lock Haven, Pennsylvania on August 23, 1947.

Losch went on to be an All-American in football at the University of Miami. He still holds multiple rushing records there.

Losch was the 8th overall pick in the 1956 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, but played for only a year before joining the United States Air Force as a jet pilot.

For 37 years, following his NFL career, he was Director of Fleet Services at General Motors.

Losch died on May 27, 2004. On June 10, 2004, Little League Baseball and Softball announced that the Little League World Series Team Sportsmanship Award would be named after Losch.

Bringers Of The Dawn

Gathering in the night with uncertainty of the unfamiliar
Images of the gods rise out from solitude
Their illuminating presence pierces through the dark
Before the eyes of disbelievers heavenly prophecies unfold
Dawn nears and hopes become reality
Our saviors come forth to free us
Undisclosed spirits move in the void
Now skylight appears and the night fades
As the sun rises above the horizon
The nameless figures become clear as day
Marching forth through the perilous light
Gazed upon by the inquisitive ones
While others take shelter in fear of life
Can this be the salvation we seek
Or just more hopeless delusions
Some trust as others await validation
Before the eyes of disbelievers heavenly prophecies unfold
Dawn nears and hopes become reality
Our saviors come forth to free us
Images of the gods rise out from solitude
