Little League Baseball
Little League Baseball is a youth baseball organization that was founded in 1939 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most prominent and widely recognized youth sports organizations in the world, providing opportunities for children to learn and play baseball in a structured and supportive environment.
History
Little League Baseball was founded by Carl Stotz, who wanted to create a baseball league for boys in his hometown. The first game was played on June 6, 1939, and the league quickly grew in popularity. By 1947, the first Little League World Series was held, and the event has since become an annual tradition.

Each division has its own set of rules and regulations to ensure age-appropriate play and development.
