The Little League World Series has announced a ban on in-person attendance for general audiences, per the statement released Friday. Admission to the event in Williamsport, PA will be limited to invitees permitted for the 16 teams, with each team being assigned 250 passes to be divvied among close friends and relatives.
The event’s mitigating of crowd sizes presents a path forward for the events to continue in the midst of the highly transmissible Delta variant causing a spike in cases nationwide. The 2020 Little League World Series was canceled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, their first cancelation of the event since its inception in 1947.
The announcement details that the original estimate of 3,000 tickets for general audiences have been retracted. Audiences will be recommended to wear a mask at the outdoor venue, regardless of vaccination status.
President and CEO Stephen D. Keener joined the announcement by adding some sentiments behind the decision — a move also meant to prevent cases among unvaccinated youth, which still remains a non-issue in terms of serious effects among children, per the CDC data.
“The health and well-being of our teams and mitigating their exposure to COVID-19 must continue to be our main priority, as we conclude our World Series events,” said Keener.
“We are disappointed that we must rollback our spectators joining us in Williamsport this year, but are eager to provide a safe, enjoyable experience for the 16 teams who will compete in the World Series this summer.”
The Little League Baseball World Series will take place between August 19-29.

You guys get it yet? It’s not going anywhere until the silent majority comes out in mass and confronts it directly.
We get it; sadly, too many do not–we are in the minority.
Coming to you, yunno, from the same people forcing a vaccine down everyone’s throats. At every turn, the vaccine is being devalued all while they create laws to make you get it anyways. That is extortion for the price of your freedoms backed by the same science used to politicize FDA-approved drugs that will likely kill you in a different manner than it is intended to save you. We are all being forced to watch the tail chase the dog… and cheer for it.
It’s class warfare.
The Great Reset is a war of the ruling class against normal people. Example # 371,946
Aaanndd the over the top hysteria continues…
This nonsense will continue once the Lambda, Alpha, then Sigma variants follow up the Delta. Maybe John Belushi will come back from the grave and make a cameo….
