You Gotta Believe���the inspiring new movie based on the real-life 2002 Westside Little League All-Stars from Fort Worth, Texas—tells the story of the Southwest Region team that underwent a transformational journey from district underdog to taking its place in the Little League World Series record books in a showdown that became an instant ESPN classic! Supported, in part, by work and consultation from many of our staff members at Little League Baseball and Softball, the film stars Luke Wilson & Greg Kinnear and will be opening in theaters nationwide on August 30.

Our World of Little League Museum has unveiled a brand-new #GirlsWithGame exhibit in coordination of the #GWG50 Celebration, proudly supported by DICK'S Sporting Goods, bringing the year-long campaign to life while celebrating the pioneers who have helped pave the way for generations of young girls over the past 50 years. “We hope the newly updated section of our museum will serve as an inspiration to the next generation of Girls with Game who visit us throughout the year and help us to continue to document those champions who continue to bring the initiative to life now and in the future.” - Adam Thompson, Director of the World of Little League Museum → https://lnkd.in/ep5P22Xn

When you have those nerves hit you – whether it’s before your first practice or when you’re getting in the batter’s box for the 20th time – remember, you belong." 🧡💜 This month's Girl With Game letter is from Brian McClintock, Little League Senior Communications Executive → https://lnkd.in/etdYS4Fq

Two stars of professional hockey round out the Little League Hall of Excellence Class of 2024, joining Maria Pepe who was enshrined earlier this month. Congratulations Meghan Duggan and Ray Ferraro! Meghan Duggan played her Little League with Danvers (Mass.) American LL, before an astonishing hockey career that saw three Olympic medals and seven World Championship gold medals for Team USA on the ice. Ray Ferraro grew up playing on the fields of Trail Little League in British Columbia, Canada and lived out a dream that every Little Leaguer hopes for at the 1976 #LLWS. Ferraro went on to an incredible 18-year National Hockey League (NHL) career before hanging up his skates in 2002 and turning his attention to the broadcast booth.
