The crew trekked across town to the USSSA 6u Tball, 7u, and 8u Machine Pitch World Series in Charleston, South Carolina. 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! The crew has enjoyed being in Charleston, but we are headed back to Myrtle Beach for the Ocean Breeze/Ripken Experience tournament! See ya there!
