The Central Crew made their way out to the Big League Dreams Park in Mansfield, TX for a great mid week event. The crew was VERY tempted to go to the water park right next to the field instead of setting up in the hot Texas heat. But, in the end, we decided to set up the Baseball Youth Roadtrip Fanfest and had an awesome day.
The Big League Dreams complex was unlike anything we’ve seen on the roadtrip. Each of their fields were replicas of actual stadiums. They had Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, The Ballpark at Arlington, and even the old Polo Fields. Kids were having a great time playing games at this unique complex, but were having even more fun at our booths! The Nintendo Wii’s were packed all day with people trying out the new Little League World Series 2009 games. We hooked a few of the kids up with the game for the Wii and DS and they couldn’t stop smiling.
We broke out a new game at the Disney booth where kids raced to blow up thundersticks and then run back to me and pop them. We gave Colton a new XD t-shirt for winning the race.
At the Topps Attax booth teammates battled each other to determine who the best player was. There was even some family competition as one player was defeated by his mom!!!
Posters, cards, pencils, stickers, and eyeblack were flying off the tables as kids lined up for their chance to win prizes. As crew member Matt kept shouting….. “You gotta spin it to win it!”
We had a great time at this tournament and have many more lined up in the next few months so keep coming back to baseballyouth.com and check for updates.
