PAINTSVILLE, KY - TOUR STOP

July 17 & 18, 2006

After two stops in baseball lovin’ Kentucky, the Road Trip had time for one more before we made our way into Ohio. This time we were guests at the Little League Baseball Kentucky State Tournament in Paintsville.

Last year’s Kentucky State Champion and Little League World Series participant Owensboro Southern was back for another run at a title, and the players even had a little time to try their luck at our Baseball Card Challenge. We quickly found out they knew more than just how to play baseball.

Winners had the chance to win our cool prizes, and this time around we had packs of Fleer cards and Baseball Youth Road Trip trading pins to give away. Someone even walked away with a David Ortiz game-used jersey card. Unbelievable.

This may have been our busiest stop yet, but we’ll have to see how some of the next cities do in challenging Paintsville. It was great to hang out with so many players from the best teams in Kentucky. Hopefully, we’ll see one of the teams again when we head to Williamsport, Pa., for the Little League World Series.
