Little LeagueInternational baseball organization for children and youth, started in 1939 in Williamsport, Pa., by Carl E. Stotz and brothers Bert and George Bebble. The league originally included boys aged 8–12; girls were admitted in 1974. It now includes two upper divisions for youths aged 13–15 and 16–18. In the junior division the game is played on a field two-thirds the size of a professional baseball diamond. A season comprises about 15 games. The organization expanded rapidly after World War II; by the 1990s there were about 2.5 million players in some 30 countries. The Little League World Series is held in Williamsport each year in August. How to thank TFD for its existence?

CANYON COUNTRY -- Last season, a coupled of young outfielders suffered twisted ankles in the gopher holes that marred the Canyon Country Little League complex. A $150,000 grant from the Baseball Tomorrow Fund was given to Little League Baseball in late August for the expansion of its Little League Baseball Challenger Division. The latest project is for a Little League field in Newbern, a microscopic rural hamlet consisting of just six buildings. |
