BASES LOADED
The intersection at Third and Market Streets in downtown Williamsport has
been transformed into a baseball infield with 10 life-size bronze statues, which
commemorate different decades across Little League’s 75 years. Carl Stotz,
the founder of Little League Baseball, presides over the game from a bench
near home plate. Three baserunners trace the game’s evolution through the
years. A girl runner, representative of all girls who have played Little League,
is at first base; an Asian player wearing a 50th anniversary logo on his jersey is
at second base; and a player representing Little League’s Challenger program
with a 75th anniversary logo on his jersey is at third base. Lycoming College
partnered with Penn College to sponsor the statue of the catcher.
