Little League
Kids' diamond organization
Little League is a trademarked youth baseball and softball organization founded in 1939, now operating worldwide.
The Little League World Series, held annually in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is a major televised event.
The name has become nearly synonymous with organized children's baseball in America: She pitched in Little League until she was twelve. (Lowercase little league is generic youth sports.)
