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!
