WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — 2023 marks the 76th anniversary of the Little League World Series.
The LLWS will begin on August 16 and end on August 27.
The first one was held in Williamsport in 1947.
At the time, Little League itself only existed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. So, every team in the World Series that first year, save one, was from here in the Keystone State.
Fast forward to today, there are twenty teams representing countries from all over the world, and tens of thousands of visitors here to watch them play.
