This morning I headed up to the Little League World Series in Williamsport. This year I had a lot more fun because I took part in many of the promotional campaigns some of the major sponsors were doing. Aside from baseball and football cards, I also collect pins. Pin trading is HUGE at the Little League World Series. Obtaining some of the pins from the sponsors reminded me of being at The National, because you need to do certain things to get a pin. I had a really good time and if you’re a baseball fan you should go. I even found a few baseball cards 🙂 When I was there, Mexico and Canada were playing. Click on each photo to enlarge.

This ACE Hardware pin was a giveaway around lunchtime.
All I had to do was answer a few questions at the Honda booth and they handed me this pin.
Quality Inn was just giving these away at their booth.
Coca-Cola gave me this pin because I recycled one of their soda bottles at their booth.
While I was getting lunch, a man came up to me and said he was an umpire for Little League and gave me this pin. Its an umpire pin from Johnson City, TN.
These cards were a giveaway from Sunkist. Upper Deck made them back in 2005 for the Little League World Series. Each came wrapped in a clear pack. There are 5 cards to the set.
