The Central Crew left Knoxville and made the quick drive to La Vergne, TN for the 2nd Annual SYSA/USSSA Summer Jam. It was a hot afternoon, but the action at the Topps Attax tent was hotter. Topps Attax matches were going on all day, and even the crew got in on it. In the end, Phillip proved to be the top player and took home the 20 card starter pack of cards.

The Little League World Series tents were slammed all afternoon as well. Moms, dads, brothers, and sisters all stopped in to join in on the fun. We also handed out TONS of Topps and Upper Deck cards. Our gigantic bucket had to be refilled because we were so busy handing out cards.
Thomas was the winner of the New Era Baseball Cap Trivia Challenge and we hooked him up with a junkball set. At the Disney booth, Jake set a new tour record by throwing 10 consecutive balls through the Disney XD sign. I’m not sure that record will be broken the rest of the tour!!!

We also rented out more bats at this tourney than ever before. Tritons, H2’s, and Dynasty’s were being used at every field. The Summer Jam was really a great event for the Central Crew to stop in on.
Since we had a few days off before our next stop we decided to spend a few nights in Nashville, TN. Everyone had a great time in this really fun city. We saw the NFL’s Tennessee Titans football stadium, the Grand Ole Opry, and tons of country music places.

We head to St. Louis tomorrow so come back soon to baseballyouth.com and see what the Central Crew has in store next.
