2009 Baseball Youth Road Trip FANFEST - EAST TOUR Galleries

May 23, 2009 - Disney's Wide World of Sports - Orlando, Florida : Our first stop on the Baseball Youth East Tour was the Disney Sun & Surf Baseball Bash in Orlando, Florida at the Disney Wide World of Sports! It was very exciting to see Disney World and the amazing sports complex that was hosting the tournament! Unfortunately, the weather has been rainy, but we've been pretty lucky during the day and it hasn't kept us from having a great time! Throughout the day, we have so many players and parents that are interested in all of the amazing products and samples our sponsors have to offer! The Shock Doctor interactive area was a big hit with many of the players and kids.One of the players was able to hit a ball into the Home Run hole and won a Shock Doctor hat! After that, all the kids flocked to try. The Topps Attack booth was also a lot of fun for the kids. Sammy was even undefeated all day until he played David! It was a lot of fun for the kids to watch and play with all of the baseball cards. The MLBPA Booth always had a line with anxious players wanting to win baseball cards and the Disney XD Thunderstixs were definitely flying off the tables over at the Disney Booth. Being able to spend time in Orlando has been a lot of fun! There are so many sites to see and the city itself is a great place with plenty of things to do. Despite not having a professional baseball team, they really seem to love baseball and it's easy to see. We have a few days until our next stop in Clearwater, Florida at the IBC/Nations FL State Championship. Make sure to check out our stops on baseballyouth.com to keep up with all of the action!

June 3, 2009 - USSSA Canes World Series Classic - Miramar, Florida : Two weeks into the Baseball Youth Road Trip, we made a stop at the USSSA Canes World Series Classic in Miramar, Florida. This two day event was certainly filled with high spirits and more than 80 teams ready for action. The weather was great and the tournament was certainly kicked off the right way. Loud music was played all day to make sure everyone was pumped up for their games. It was easy to see that all the players were fascinated by all the cool baseball cards, Thunderstix, and video games our sponsors had to offer. The Disney XD booth was constantly at work, handing out Thunderstix and letting the kids dig through the bins for all the great stickers. The MLBPA booth never had less than 20 kids in line, eager to spin the wheel and get a baseball card of their favorite player. And there's no way to forget how popular the Shock Doctor booth was with all the parents in search of great protective gear. Miramar is a smaller town right outside of Miami. It certainly is a great baseball atmosphere. The crew was even lucky enough to be able to go to a Florida Marlin's baseball game at Landshark Stadium. It was a great time in Miramar and the East Tour Crew is definitely excited for their next stop in St. Petersburg, Florida at Fossil Park.

June 7, 2009 - IBC/Nations Elite FL State Championships - Clearwater, Florida : Our next stop on this tour was Clearwater, Florida - IBC/Nations Elite FL State Championships. Although it was a little bit cloudy and warm in the morning, a breeze picked up and the sun came out, making it a great day for the kids.   Throughout the day we managed to attract an impressive crowd. The New Era Booth constantly had players swarming around checking out hats for their favorite teams. We also racked up many nominations for Player of the Year at the MLB Network Player of the Year Booth. The Thunderstix at Disney XD were once again one of the main attractions for the kids. At the Topps Attack Booth, one player, Sean, played 10 games in a row without losing. Everyone seemed to be having a great time!   Clearwater was a great tour stop. The park was amazing and the fans were really excited to see the Road Trip Fanfest Booths! The Phillies even are in town occasionally for spring training in the off season. You can really tell this town has a love for baseball. Follow us on www. baseballyouth.com for our next stop in Miami, Florida at the Miami Curve Tournament of Champions 2009.

June 12, 2009 - USSSA Kendall Craze VII - Homestead, Florida : The East Tour visited Homestead, Florida for the USSSA Kendall Crazy VII baseball tournament. The tournament attracted a great crowd despite the heat index hitting over 100 degrees! For this tournament, the crew brought out the Cutters booth, which sold baseball gloves and grip tape for both the little league players as well as adults. The booth was flocked with people all day long looking to try on and purchase the gloves! They were a big hit. The Shock Doctor booth also saw a lot of action, and John hit a ball through the hole homerun and won a Shock Doctor hat. The line was always full of kids looking to try out their hitting skills. As always, the kids were eager to win Upper Deck and Topps baseball cards by spinning the wheel at the MLBPA booth. We enjoyed being in Homestead (it's the last city before the keys!), but we are looking forward to our next stop tomorrow, which is in Lake Worth, Florida. Hope to see you there!

June 14, 2009 - Lake Worth Hurricanes Tournament - Lake Worth, Florida : Lake Worth was one of the best stops yet on the East Tour Fanfest! There were so many excited players and parents who were psyched we were there! The MLBPA booth was definitely a big hit with the kids. They won so many baseball cards and were really loving the Louisville Slugger posters. The Backyard Baseball Booth had players waiting in line to play, and the Canes even organized their tournament to see who could win and get baseball cards. Another booth that was really popular was the Topps Attack! Every five minutes you would hear the roar of players cheering on their friends as the would win a handful of baseball cards. Louisville Slugger also was kept busy with all the players eager to test out the cool new bats. Lake Worth was pretty hot, but it sure didn't seem to phase any of the players. It was a great complex and the team really enjoyed the day out there. The nice breeze from the ocean kept everyone cool and ready for action.

June 18, 2009 - Panama City Beach, Florida - Grand Slam Battle At The Beach : he next stop on the East Tour Fanfest Road Trip was in Panama City Beach at the Grand Slam Battle at the Frank Brown Sports Complex. I took us 8 hours to get there from our last stop. The heat was intense,as it reached 109 Heat index, but everyone ended up having a great time and enjoying themselves. Many of the players and kids enjoyed the Shock Doctor Booth and spent a lot of their time trying to hit Home Runs and Triples so they could win a Shock Doctor hat. Another busy booth was, of course, Disney. Everyone loved the Thunderstix and some of the boys were even excited because they were skaters and had been watching Zeke and Luther! Louisville Slugger definitely drew much attention to itself with the awesome bat display. Many players were testing out the bats and really like the way they handled. The MLBPA Booth certainly stayed busy almost the entire time, and Topps Attack drew a lot of players who were really excited to try a game with their favorite baseball cards. Panama City was a great stop. The sun was always shining and the beaches were fantastic. This was certainly a favorite stop on the Fanfest Tour.

June 21, 2009 - Panama City, Florida - Simply The Best World Series (OC) : Our next tournament for the East Tour was in Panama City at the Simply the Best World Series. We were happy we didn't have to make another long trip! The road trip crew members were able to be present for the opening ceremony, which took place at Mosley High School. We were excited because we we rarely get to see those events. The crew set up inside the gym after the opening ceremony, which was also unique because we got to hang out with all the teams at once! The players were especially interested in the Disney interactive game. They were lined up to try their hand at making five pitches in a row to receive free Thunderstix, Zeke and Luther postcards, and stickers. Another favorite was the Backyard Baseball video game booth. They stayed huddled around the TVs to make sure each got their chance to play! The Lousiville Slugger booth was crowded with parents and children alike looking at the baseball gloves and new bats. Shock doctor was also packed with people looking at the sliding shorts, cups, and mouth pieces, everyone wanted to know where to get the gear. Simply the Best World Series was a fun stop and they are excited about coming back to next year! The crew has been in Panama City for a little over a week now, and we are loving the beautiful beaches and delicious seafood! Follow us on Twitter and to our next stop to Penscacola, Florida at the USSSA ASP World Series Warm -up!

July 3, 2009 - Orlando, Florida - Disney's Salute To Baseball Fesitval at DWWS : The Disney Salture to Baseball Festival at DWWS in Orlando, Florida was a tournament the crew had looked forward to for a few weeks now. We were eager to get back to Orlando and Disney Wide World of Sports Complex. This tournament stands apart from many of the others because there are many international teams that come to play. The Disney XD booth always had a long line of little leaguers ready to collect Disney eye black stickers as well as learn about Zeke and Luther. Many of the kids had already seen the show and were talking about their favorite episodes with crew member Alex. The crew conducted a Topps Attax tournament halfway through the morning. The prize was a huge pile of Topps cards. A child from Enrique Cruz won the tournament and the whole team gathered around him to look at his new baseball cards! The Backyard Baseball booth was also crowded with kids were eager to try out the game on the Wii and Playstations. Both the parents and kids were excited about the games and the crew members were asked several times where to purchase the games and how much they were. After the tournament was over we got to experience the Disney theme parks. We went to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. Our two favorite rides were Soarin' and Mission to Mars. After we went to Epcot we took the monorail to Magic Kingdom and watched the parade and fireworks. We had a great time. Our next stop is back in Panama City!

July 08, 2009 - Gulf Shores, Alabama - USSSA Baseball At The Beach World Series : The crew finally ventured out of Florida and into the great state of Alabama for the USSSA Baseball at the Beach in Gulf Shores. The tournament was one of our biggest yet, with over 100 teams from all over the Southeastern United States. The Road Trip got the oppurtunity to set up at the opening ceremonies, where the crowd of players and parents was almost overwhelming! That didn't stop everyone from getting a ton of free stuff and having a blast at our interactive games. Every booth stayed extremely busy, but the Disney interactive pitching game and the Shock Doctor Hitting were the biggest hit. Team after team crowded around the game to see which player could throw the most pitches through the "Disney XD" hole. The player that won out of each team was awarded as many Thunderstix and stickers that they wanted, and everyone got Zeke and Luther postcards for trying. There was always a line at the Backyard Baseball booth to try out the newest version of the game on our Playstations and Wiis. The players were excited about picking up the game in stores so they could play at home! The crew had a blast at this event and can't wait for the second session next week! In the mean time, the group gets a few days off to check out Gulf Shore's beautiful beaches and eat at the famous Lambert's Cafe. We will see you next week in Gulf Shores!

The tournament was one of our biggest yet, with over 100 teams from all over the Southeastern United States. The Road Trip got the oppurtunity to set up at the opening ceremonies, where the crowd of players and parents was almost overwhelming! That didn't stop everyone from getting a ton of free stuff and having a blast at our interactive games. Every booth stayed extremely busy, but the Disney interactive pitching game and the Shock Doctor Hitting was the biggest hit. Team after team crowded around the game to see which player could throw the most pitches through the "Disney XD" hole. The player that won out of each team was awarded as many Thunderstix and stickers that they wanted, and everyone got Zeke and Luther postcards for trying. There was always a line at the Backyard Baseball booth to try out the newest version of the game on our Playstations and Wiis. The players were excited about picking up the game in stores so they could play at home! The crew had a blast at this event and can't wait for the second session next week! In the mean time, the group gets a few days off to check out Gulf Shore's beautiful beaches and eat at the famous Lambert's Cafe. We will see you next week in Gulf Shores!

July 15, 2009 - Gulf Shores, Alabama - USSSA Baseball At The Beach World Series II : After a couple of days off in Gulf Shores, the East Tour crew was back at it again for the USSSA Baseball at the Beach World Series session two. The crew was refreshed and ready to go after spending a few days at the beach and dining at places like Lambert's Cafe. The crew members organized a batting contest at the Shock Doctor booth, where members of Hit Tech among other teams were scrambling for a chance to win a Shock Doctor hat. Everyone had to put on the Shock Doctor eye black to be eligible to particpate. Sean won the whole thing and was proudly showing off his new hat to the rest of his team. Crew member Andy lead players in a baseball card game, where the kid that held the card with the player that had the highest number of career RBIs received a huge pile of either Topps or Upper Deck baseball cards. The kids loved the game and everyone wanted to get in on the fun. The Louisville Slugger booth got a lot of action. The parents and players were curious about the 2010 model of bats, and which one best fit their hitting style. Many parents rented out bats for their players to use in the game, and we were excited to hear the feedback. The East Tour crew thoroughly enjoyed the Gulf Shores tournaments, but are moving onto Myrtle Beach next. We have a long drive ahead of us, but we hope to see you in South Carolina!

July 19, 2009 - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - Big Kahuna / Ripken Experience (OC) : The East Tour made it to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the Big Kahuma/Ripken experience tournament. Most of the crew had never been to a Ripken tournament before, but we had heard only good things and were excited to check it out. Needless to say, we were not let down. The facilities were amazing: the fields were in perfect condition, and they even had their own restaurant and gift shop. The crew set up for the opening ceremony, where the excited players and their families got to enjoy the FanFest even before the tournament actually started. The little leaguers were able to stock up on tons of Shock Doctor eye black for their games for the week. Parents also found the Shock Doctor booth interesting, and were excited to check out the sliding shorts, cups, and mouth guards. John, an intern from Shock Doctor, was also able to join us the next day, and the kids enjoyed hanging out with him at the interactive game. The crew was able to host a Topps Attax tournament, which was a fun way for the players to relax between games. Many different teams participated, and the winners walked away with a starter pack of Topps Attax cards. Everyone enjoyed learning to play the game! The MLBPA booth was, as usual, always packed. The spin wheel was always in motion as the kids walked away with tons of Topps and Upper Deck baseball cards, as well as pencils, road trips pins, and Lousiville slugger posters. After getting their fill of the spin wheel, the players were eager to start trading their baseball cards! The Big Kahuba/Rip Experience was a success! The crew and the players had a great time enjoying the awesome facilities as well as Myrtle Beach! For our next tournament, we are just moving across town for the Triple Crown Tournament! We hope to see you there!

July 23, 2009 - Charleston, South Carolina - USSSA Global Sports World Series : The East Tour made their way into Charleston, South Carolina, a town with a lot of that Southern charm. We were welcomed with open arms at the USSSA Global Sports World Series, and were excited to set up there for the day. The day started off with many games of "pack wars." Crew member Amanda handed out packs of Upper Deck and Topps cards, and challenged the players to find a major leaguer in their pack that had the most home runs. Many kids won, and walked away with New Era hats as well as a handful of baseball cards. Next, at the Disney booth, a team of players played to get Thunderstix and stickers! They all competed against each other to see who could throw the most balls throw the interactive game with their opposite hand they usually throw with as well as their eyes closed. Needless to say, it was a very interesting game! In the end, they all had a blast and the winner got as many stickers and Thunderstix as they could hold. Charleston was a stop to be remembered with a lot of friendly competition between the teams at the Shock Doctor and Disney interactive booth. The crew had a great time hanging out with everyone and can't wait to come back next year! For our next tournament, we will head about ten minutes down the road to another tournament. We hope to see you there!

We set up right at the entrance, so everyone could easily find the FanFest! The Louisville Slugger booth was filled with little leaguers checking out the new 2010 bats. The players especially impressed with the variety of bats we had to offer, and many were rented out for the morning games. The crew got lots of positive feedback! The parents and players were also checking out all the different styles of gloves, and were full of questions that crew member Dave happily answered. The Backyard Baseball booth constantly had a line of kids that wanted to check out the new version of the game! There was never an empty Wii or Playstation controller. Winners of each virtual game walked away FanFest prizes and everyone that played got Backyard Baseball coupons to purchase a game for themselves. We couldn't keep people away from the New Era booth. The players were so interested in what kind of hats New Era offered as well as what their size was. Although we got many offers, the hats were not available to purchase; but luckily, we had many coupons to hand out so people could get the hat they wanted online! The USSSA Machine Pitch World Series was an eventful tournament. We had a blast with all the parents and children, and can't wait to see them again next year!

July 30, 2009 - Richmond, Virginia - Pony World Series / Bronco Division : The East Tour rolled into Richmond, Virginia, ready to have a fantastic evening at the Pony World Series/Bronco Division. This was the first time the FanFest had traveled to Richmond in the history of Baseball Youth! To gear up for the games, we gathered different players from different teams for a throwing contest at the Disney XD booth. In order to play, each player had to have on the Disney eye black as well as a Zeke and Luther postcard. Whoever got the most pitches in a row won as many Thunderstix as they wanted as well as a Disney XD hat! For all the kids that weren't gathered around the pitching competition, we hosted a tournament at the Topps Attax booth. Our three tables were revolving doors for all the kids that were lined up to try their hand at beating undefeated crew member Alex. During the championship game, little leaguer Nick just barely beat Alex in the last play of the game with a Derek Jeter card! Nick was rewarded with a starter pack of Topps Attax cards. The crew had a fun run in Richmond for a day, but now we are off to Delaware. The crew has a long drive ahead of us, but we are excited to visit more fun places!

These players in the week 9 tournament at the All-Star Village could sure play! This was very evident at our fanfest set up. At the Shock Doctor booth the players were hitting Home Runs like crazy. For hitting a home run the players received a new white Shock Doctor hat. Needless to say, we gave out alot of Shock Doctor hats to the week 9 kids. The same athletic skills were also being showed off at at Disney XD. Even making these kids throw the Junk Balls with their opposite hand couldn't stop them. It seems they were having no trouble throwing the balls into the D. The Disney XD eye black was also a big hit amongst these players. We had a great time with the players from Week 9. We can only hope week 10 players are as fun as these kids!

August 11, 2009 - Cooperstown, New York - Cooperstown All-Star Village - Week 9 : The Baseball Youth Road Trip Fanfest East Tour could be found once again at the home of the great All-Star Village in Cooperstown, NY for Week 9 action. These players in the week 9 tournament at the All-Star Village could sure play! This was very evident at our fanfest set up. At the Shock Doctor booth the players were hitting Home Runs like crazy. For hitting a home run the players received a new white Shock Doctor hat. Needless to say, we gave out alot of Shock Doctor hats to the week 9 kids. The same athletic skills were also being showed off at at Disney XD. Even making these kids throw the Junk Balls with their opposite hand couldn't stop them. It seems they were having no trouble throwing the balls into the D. The Disney XD eye black was also a big hit amongst these players. We had a great time with the players from Week 9. We can only hope week 10 players are as fun as these kids!

August 12, 2009 - Cooperstown, New York - Cooperstown All-Star Village - Week 10 : The East Crew was back in action for one more last time at the All-Star Village. We were excited to see the new kids from week 10. The excitement started high over at the MLBPA Booth. The players were overjoyed to find out that they could walk away with free Topps and Upper Deck Cards. It seemed that every couple of minutes the crew members had to keep refilling the buckets with cards. The fans and players were also interested in learning how to play the new game card came from Topps, Topps Attack. They couldnt seem to get enough of the game once they were told how to play. Bats were flying off the rack, as always over at the Slugger Booth. The bat in the Week 10 that the players were renting out the most seemed to be the the new H2. We heard lots of great feed back from the others as well but it seemed that the week 10 players liked the new H2 the best. The Baseball Youth Road Trip East Tour has ended their stay at the All-Star Village. We would like to say a special thanks to Marty and Mike. If you are looking for a great tournament to take your team, check out Cooperstown All-Star Village. You will not regret making the trip! The crew is off to Baseball Heaven. See you at the fields!
