Taiwan is second with 17 victories and Japan is a distant third with 6 victors. California holds the record for the State with the most victories at 5. Numerous Major League players participated in the Little League World Series including Gary Sheffield and Matt Holiday. The first Little League World Series was held in 1947 and featured four teams from around Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

  7. Students will now get broken up into 4 expert groups. Each group will start on their designated activity page and follow the different links. They can also find more by researching on their own. The activity page is just a starting point for them. Each group will then present their information to the class. • Each activity has a primary source analysis that the students will have to fill out as a group and share with the class and a worksheet to follow as they research to help keep them organized for their presentation.
