Countries Effected by the LLWS Many countries just watch the games on T.V Most fans and parents of the kids that are playing go to the games Kids make friends from other countries and states The friendships often last during and even after the LLWS

Public relations The little league World Series is way more popular now ever than it was in the past decades. Earlier it wasn’t as popular because it wasn’t broadcasted on TV. All of the players are respected and cheered for no matter who they play for. I think the community gives a lot to their countries and states to follow 11,12 and 13 year olds to play baseball. I mean think about it all the fans have to pay to fly to South Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the hotels. Plus you know you are going to want to by food and eat concessions, so if you think about it it’s going to add up to be a lot of moneySouth Williamsport, Pennsylvania
