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!
