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!
