A couple of weeks back my friend and I decided to take a quick road trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. As someone who is constantly trying to bring you more & more content, I decided that it would be cool to feature the town of Williamsport, and profile the Little League World Series. 

Through a couple days of footage and checking out the town, I decided to throw a short documentary together. This documentary will be available shortly on YouTube under 'Sports Business Review...'

However In the time being...I thought that the SBR Podcast subscribers & listeners would be interested in the audio from this... soon to be released video. As you will hear shortly, Williamsport, PA is a fascinating town. Believe it or not it has a long history even prior to its well-known claim to fame, the Little League World Series. 

If you’re interested in hearing more about Williamsport, or the Little League World Series, don’t forget to subscribe to 'Sports Business Review' on YouTube for not only the release of this video, but all other SBR Podcast content. I hope you enjoy.

This first season brought us countless special moments, and it' very challenging to only pick a handful. Between story-telling, guests conveying their passion, added detail about their industry-specific jobs, or just engaging in banter, I have truly enjoyed this first season & I hope you did too.
