2021 LLBB and LLSB World Series to Honor Icons of the Game

With the Little League® Baseball and Softball World Series featuring teams solely from the United States in 2021, the designated participating fields in both events will be named in honor of four Hall of Famers who have embodied the mission of the Little League program during their baseball and softball careers.

Traditionally designated for U.S. and International brackets, the 2021 Little League Baseball® World Series (LLBWS) brackets will be named in memory of National Baseball Hall of Famers, Hank Aaron and Tom Seaver, while the two Little League Softball® World Series (LLSWS) playing pools will be named after National Softball Hall of Famers and Team USA Olympic gold medalists, Jennie Finch and Jessica Mendoza.

At the LLBWS in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the eight teams on the left side of the bracket will compete for the “Hank Aaron Championship” while the eight teams on the right side of the bracket will compete for the “Tom Seaver Championship” before playing in the LLBWS Championship Game.

Similarly, the 2021 LLSWS in Greenville, North Carolina, will open with its traditional pool-play format, featuring a “Jennie Finch Pool” and a “Jessica Mendoza Pool,” each consisting five teams, to determine which teams advance to the single-elimination segment of the tournament.
