Tucked into the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania, roughly three hours northwest of Philadelphia, you’ll find Bowman Field in the small city of Williamsport. Officially it’s Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, and it’s the oldest minor league ballpark in Pennsylvania and the second oldest in the nation. Since 2017 it’s been the site of the annual MLB Little League Classic, an effort by MLB to engage with and attract younger fans to baseball.
Tonight marked the first appearance by the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals at the Little League Classic.
This year’s Little League World Series was exceptionally meaningful with the inclusion of Delco’s own Media Little League team, who went on a tear this year and made everyone in the Delaware Valley so incredibly proud of them.
