Little League® Grads Competing in the 2015 MLB Postseason

Nearly every child who has stepped onto a Little League® field has dreamed of one-day playing Major League Baseball. For countless Little League grads, that dream has come true – from Allen “Sonny” Yearick, who played on one of the very first Little League teams in 1939 and went on to play professionally in the Boston Braves organization, to Yusmeiro Petit, who became the first and only person to be on Little League Baseball and Major League Baseball World Series Championship Teams last year.
From Hall of Famers to Home Run Derby champions, Little League grads have had great success in the Major Leagues.
