Today, the Little League Baseball World Series is held annually in Williamsport, Pa., and brings together fans from all over the world for an iconic event each August. More than just a baseball tournament, the Little League Baseball World Series provides visitors with a rich variety of culture and history in the hometown where Little League Baseball and Softball was originally founded. The Little League Baseball World Series would become a defining element of the Williamsport community, an integral part of the city's transformation from the historical home of lumber bearings to the world capitol of youth sports."
