The Central Crew battled the heat and the crowd and had a great day at the Texas State Championship in Flower Mound, TX. There was so much talent at this tournament that we decided to pick out one lucky player to be featured on a baseball card in our next issue of Baseball Youth Magazine! Man was he excited to find out he was going to have a card right next to the pros.
Our giant buckets of Topps and Upper Deck baseball cards were getting mobbed by kids eager to find their favorite players. Over at the Little League World Series tents, kids were trying out 2009 LLWS and loving the new power ups and the sliding features. After Thomas won the round robin tournament, we gave a copy of the game to bring home with him. He jumped so high in excitement when he won that he almost hit his head on our tent! At Topps Attax the action was just as crazy. Ryan and Phillip were having such a good time with the game that they asked if they could play a full nine inning game. Of course we said yes and when they were finished we gave them some packs to take home with them and share with their friends.
The Louisville Slugger bats and gloves are still a fan favorite amongst the players looking for baseball gear built for performance. When kids find out they can try a free demo of a 2010 Slugger their face always lights up with excitement knowing they will have the best bat available in their hands. At the Disney booth everyone was having a blast. We started with a tournament for kids under 5 to play. Once we had a group of players we let them throw balls through the big D in Disney XD. Even though Tristan was just 4 years old, he never missed a throw and we gave him tons of XD stickers for his room. The New Era Hat booth drew lots of attention too. Everyone wanted to try on their favorite flat bill and feel like the pros.
We are off to Coppell, TX in the morning but will be posting more details at baseballyouth.com
