Two weeks ago M. and I had the opportunity to spend an evening at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. What a neat experience! We sat on the hill eating kettle-cooked popcorn and watching Montana (Midwest) and South Dakota (Northwest) play off. Besides the various regions of the United States, little leagues from other countries played as well. We enjoyed watching a bit of the game between Japan and Aruba.
There's no admission fee or parking costs and the refreshment prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is very family friendly and besides having to go through metal detectors, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! It was fun to watch the tradition of children sliding down one of the large hills in the park on cardboard boxes, stand behind the ESPN studio to "be on TV," and see and hear many different peoples of the world.
This yearly event in August lasts more than a week - if you're ever near Williamsport at that time of year, stop in for a game or just to experience the atmosphere. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I loved it!

We attended last year. This year we watched via TV. Loved every minute!
