Little League World Series

The Little League World Series is a counterpart of the MLB World Series for children under 13. It started in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA. (The postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, but the stadium complex is in South Williamsport.) At first it was only between cities of the U.S. (much like the MLB "World Series"), but it now truly lives up to its designation and has become a worldwide tournament. The tournament has gained popular renown, especially in the United States, where games from the Series and even from US regional tournaments are often broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2.
