Little League World Series
The Little League World Series introduces fans to the next generation of talent, and this year was no different. Thanks to a walk-off bunt, Lake Mary Little League brought home the first-ever Little League World Series win for the state of Florida. Lake Mary is home to many current and former MLB players, and we’re excited to see these young athletes carry on the love of the game.

Part of our mission is to promote the game of baseball, raise money for charity, inspire and educate youth through positive sport images. We achieve this through our free Legends for Youth Clinic Series held worldwide. Most recently, we hosted a clinic in Colorado Springs, CO with 60 young ballplayers in attendance.
