The Boys of Summer

Wendy Royal Summer 2026

Howard J. Lamade Stadium, Little League World Series, Williamsport

Howard J. Lamade Stadium, Little League World Series, Williamsport, PA

Thirty-three US States do not have a major league baseball team. Pennsylvania has 2 – the Phillies and the Pirates. While a hotdog and beer may cost you a small fortune, it is still a relatively affordable way to experience professional sports.

The best budget-friendly bets can be found at the minor league and other MLB affiliated and non-affiliated teams located across the commonwealth. Here’s where you can root, root, root for the home team without the stress on your wallet. When you attend a game, you are literally watching athletes making their childhood dreams come true. How many of us get to do that? And,  you know what I mean if you’ve been to a Little League World Series game. These kids play their hearts out and leave everything on the field. All the while, dreaming of getting in the bigs someday. It’s the same thing for the Pony League World Series played in Western PA. America’s pastime is still going strong in communities throughout the PA.

Here’s the rundown of teams in Pennsylvania…

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Know before you go:

Regardless if you are attending a Phillies or Pirates game  much of policies are the same.

Tickets & Parking: All tickets and Parking passes must be purchased and delivered through the free MLB Ballpark app.
Ticket holders are encouraged to review your account and ensure all tickets appear as expected within the app before you arrive at the ballpark. Screenshots of your tickets will NOT be accepted to gain entry into the ballpark, so make sure you forward tickets to others in your party ahead of time.

Purchases at the game: Both ballparks are cashless. Methods of payment include credit/debit cards and mobile payment (Apple Pay and Google Pay).
