2002 Little League Team Bear

16 Teams - 1 Dream.... to find my way back to the Little League World Series and the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum.

I was purchased at the 2002 Little League World Series and would love to go back there some day. In the meantime, it would be nice to travel from cache to cache around the country. My final goal would be to end up at the Little League Musem in Williamsport, PA.

The Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum is all about the excitement of Little League Baseball and Softball. From its humble beginnings in 1939 as a three-team league in Williamsport through today and millions of participants in scores of countries, the museum is a tribute to Little League, past and present.

Part of the museum is the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum Hall of Excellence. This is where Little League graduates who have gone on to distinguished careers as adult role models are permanently enshrined as recipients of Little League’s highest honor. You can read about those who have been enshrined by clicking on Hall of Excellence.

The Little League Museum is full of pictures, displays, films and exhibits about the players, equipment, history, rules, the all-around fun of Little League, as well as information on issues facing children today. This combination both entertains and educates visitors.

Watch the actual growth of Little League throughout the world on a fantastic fiber optics map. You can "play ball" in the batting and pitching areas, and then watch your form on instant replay. Experience the "hands-on" components of the museum such as the running track, push-button quiz panels, and the opportunity to do your own play-by-play commentary on a World Series game. Learn about nutrition that will help you play your best. Watch videotaped highlights of the most exciting moments of the Little League World Series. There’s so much more to see and do!

If you are a Little League player of today or yesterday or a devoted fan of Little League, the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum will be a special place for you.

The museum is located on U.S. Route 15 in South Williamsport, Pa., next to the Little League International Administration Building, overlooking Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Little League Volunteer Stadium, home of the Little League Baseball World Series each August. Visit them soon!
