Williamsport, PA - Birth Place of Little League

America's pastime has a long history. However, the little league version of the sport had its first game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The game took place on June 6, 1939, and saw a team sponsored by Lundy-Lumber take on a team sponsored by Lycoming Dairy. They sure knew how to name something back then, didn't they? The team sponsored by Lundy-Lumber won 28-8. The town now has a little league museum travelers can visit to learn about the history of the sport.

Today, the Little League World Series is played in a nearby town. And just about most of the small towns in the U.S. have a baseball park that hosts little league games during the season.
